Join us for an evening of readings and discussion to mark the publication of this landmark anthology of Ukrainian plays in English translation.

Ukrainian New Drama After the Euromaidan Revolution brings together eight iconic dramatic texts from the years between Maidan and Russia’s full-scale invasion. A short reading of excerpts from the texts will be followed by a conversation between internationally acclaimed playwrights Natalka Vorozhbyt, Kateryna Penkova, and anthology editor Molly Flynn on the importance of these years (2014-2022) for the development of Ukrainian playwriting and reflections on the significance of that period in the current context of the war against Ukrainian culture.

The launch will be held in the downstairs bar at the Royal Court Theatre. Doors from 7:30pm, readings will begin at 8pm.

This event is coproduction of Birkbeck Centre for Contemporary Theatre, Ukrainian Institute London, and the Royal Court Theatre.

Ukrainian New Drama after the Euromaidan Revolution edited by Molly Flynn is published by Methuen Drama (2023). Find out more.
