Misha's Party

Misha's Party is set one August night in Moscow: a man attempts to throw himself a sixtieth birthday party, a grandmother attempts a reconciliation with her granddaughter, and one half of the government attempts to overthrow the other half. With the 1991 attempted coup for its backdrop, the play is a funny and ironic tale about how simple solutions only look simple and how past mistakes aren't easily made right. This edition contains an introduction by Richard Nelson about the writing of the play.
