Costumes

We have spent most of this week at the Fringe checking out some shows but we have also managed to squeeze in a couple of rehearsals and also a costume fitting.

Andy as Daniel

The play starts in Paris in the mid-1930s.  We follow the relationship between Liza and her husband Daniel, both refugees from Russia.

Pola as Sasha

We meet Liza's sister, Sasha and her son Yuri - as well as their young daughter Gaiana - they are all living together in a small flat, with little money but many options as to where their futures will take them.

Kevin as Yuri

The play takes on many twists and turns as we follow the turbulent life of Liza, we see her transformation into Mother Maria and learn of her new life working in the monastries outside of the city.  She later moves into the heart of Paris and works alongside other nuns, including the much put-upon Sister Veronica.

Pamela as Sister Veronica

From there-on-in the play moves into much darker territory as the turbulent world-shattering events explode around Mother Maria and her family, with catastrophic results.
