Lithuanian Festival - The One That Hurt the Most/The Doll/Goodbye My Love

Details

Three brilliant plays by up and coming Lithuanian writers provide the centrepiece for an exciting array of Lithuanian culture. Each evening's performance is followed by a different event including films, exhibitions, live music and more... The One that Hurt the Most by Gabriele Labanauskaite - In an underground urban bar, gay culture thrives away from society's disgusted glare. But when Jetaime's parents unexpectedly arrive, so do their prejudices and rejection. Coming out in this homophobic society startsa deathly chain of events. The Doll by Dovile Katiliute - In a city where nothing is allowed, including laughting, Antanas has an illegal secret- a Doll he can hear. But when his mother and the local preist try to take her away, Antanas flees this restrictive world. Goodbye My Love by Marius Macevicius - Birute's life in Scotland is seemingly glamourous and free, apparently runnning a resturant with a Turkish boyfriend- in every sense an evied member of the diaspora. But ambitions run deeper than motherly love as she returns to seee her son in Lithuania, and capitalism touches a post Soviet life.
