Rehearsed Readings: Uncle Sasha the Butcher at Royal Court Theatre

Little Anya steals her older brother’s pornographic playing cards and sets in motion a chain of events that will leave her questioning the meaning of sex, relationships and true love well into her adult life. A poignant study of growing up or just growing old. Uncle Sasha The Butcher is presented as a work in progress and will be followed by a panel discussion with the playwrights on the challenges of writing new plays in contemporary Georgia and Ukraine, chaired by Royal Court Literary Manager Chris Campbell.
