July 4th, 1941: Trapped in the boxcar of a motionless train, somewhere between Moscow and Siberia, two confined soldiers guard the rousing corpse of Vladimir Lenin. Join these award-winning Toronto & Vancouver theatre artists for Adam Underwood’s seriously unhinged satire about ideology, war, and the quest for survival.
A year after riveting audiences in Toronto, Adam Lazarus, Lyon Smith, and multiple Jessie-nominated actor Kevin MacDonald reunite in Tyumen, Then for Vancouver audiences.
