A rage review




I’m just listening (on BBC4, which is still very good) to an account of a particularly eventful performance staged by some independent theatre group in Belarus.

“That evening the troupe got arrested by the state police, along with the whole audience.”

What a night out! Not only was the show outrageously costly, but also the official review was absolutely damning.




I guess this is how the actors  travel now, on a tour of Belarusian  prisons
