Author: Natalya Churlyaeva EMail: churyahin@rambler.ru ICWP Member?: Yes Nearest Large City: Krasnoyarsk Country: Russia Play Title: Granny’s Birthday Runtime: 61-90 minutes Synopsis: This play challenges the representation of kind old grannies that has taken root in the public consciousness. An old woman, first of all, is a woman whose entire life is behind her, a life with ups and downs, mistakes, and now and then even crimes committed in the name of love. The meaning of their existence was in this love and passion and not in the service to this or that social order, which they, in essence, do not care deeply for. They lived as they could, as their children and grandchildren, in their own manner, live now, repeating, in their own way, their errors and crimes. It cannot be said who has it easier — they or their grandchildren. Therefore, in spite of the black humor in the dramatic dénouement, there is hope in that the grandchildren will be able both to rise from the gloom, which the pressure of life put them under, and to live their life worthily and even respectably.
