CHILD OF HUNGRY TIMES A new play written and performed by Bridget Bailey
Based on the works of Ludmila Petrushevskaya
Directed by Jay O’Berski
After successful runs in Seattle and Russia, Bridget Bailey performs the New York premiere of her poignant solo show based on the controversial writings of Soviet dramatist Ludmila Petrushevskaya. Child of Hungry Times reveals and revels in the lives of six women through the humor and heartache of living under the Soviet regime.
“Bailey’s performance is one of those marvels of quick-change artistry, not just costumes, but posture, gait, and accent, too.”
—La Rhussophobe Journal ; Seattle, Wa.
“…the great achievement of the show is the combination of Petrushevskaya’s groundbreaking writing…and [Bailey’s] own remarkable acting gifts.”
—Rob Person, Darkness at Noon: Reflections on Russia
“…[it’s] pure talent Bailey displays in creating her gallery of characters.”
—Richard Morin, The Seattle Weekly, USA
