“People were a lot more emotional and honest in those days. If they didn’t like life the way it was, they shot themselves” – Svetlana Alliluyeva

Struggling to cast off the shadow of one of the world’s most infamous, charismatic and terrifying leaders – her father – Svetlana moves to England and starts to piece together her fragmented life, her memories dominated in equal measure by her father’s tender love and his insatiable lust for power. Settling in Bristol in the nineties shortly after the fall of Communist Russia, she begins the challenging journey of reconciling her family’s overbearing legacy with her passionate need to be an individual. The true nature of freedom unfolds as she battles to carve out her place in the world.

After a sell-out extended run at Tobacco Factory Theatres in 2014, this critically-acclaimed production visits The Bike Shed as part of a national tour.

“Vivid, disturbing and utterly fascinating” (4* The Times)

“Lane’s script is a rhythmic rollercoaster … an inventive, passionate and engaging piece of work” (4* Whatsonstage)
