Following highly acclaimed runs in Wiesbaden Germany and London's Finborough Theatre, Kristin Milward gives a rivetting solo performance in Ukrainian Inna Gonchorova's new play inspired by the terrible events in Mariupol in 2022.

 

"I write music, Kolya. Composers always and everywhere write music. Even in the bunker. Even during the war."

 

Trapped beneath the Azovstal steelworks during the siege, the battered remnants of Ukraine’s 36th Marine Brigade endure the never ending barrage of Russian heavy artillery. The trumpeter, the only survivor of the Brigade’s brass band, shares the terrifying darkness with two compatriots. As the shells fall threatening death at any second, the trumpeter desperately tries to find the harmony in the noise that will enable him to compose a symphony of war...
