"I want to report a robbery...I was robbed. What was stolen from me? Almost everything...Home, land, car, work, friends, city, faith in goodness..." Donbas, 2014. A nameless woman stands in the street. Wearing a pair of dark black sunglasses, she tries to sell a basket of kittens. She has lost everything else she holds dear: her home, her family, her hope. Russia has taken over Crimea and stirred up ongoing violence in her beloved homeland of Donbas. Betrayed by her neighbour and brutalised by Russian-backed militia, her hope has waned for humanity. She can only now place her hope in finding a home for a basket of kittens, a home she cannot offer. An urgent piece of new writing from Neda Nezhdana - in her UK debut - that starkly reveals the roots of Russia's war on Ukraine through the brutalised eyes of one woman.
