New Repertory Theatre presents Arlekin Players: Natasha's Dream, February 14, 20, 21 at 7:30pm in the Black Box Theater at the Mosesian Center for the Arts, 321 Arsenal Street, Watertown, MA. Tickets are $19-$35 and may be purchased by calling the New Rep Box Office at 617-923-8487 or visiting newrep.org. Student and senior discounts are available.
Natasha's Dream recently appeared at several prestigious festivals including off-Broadway at the United Solo Theatre Festival at the Theatre Row, Solo International Theatre Festival in Moscow, and High Fest International Performing Arts Festival in Yerevan, Armenia.
In Natasha's Dream, a girl tells the story of her life in a small-town orphanage, and her desire to be free; to fly away and break the vicious circle of life. From the inside of a courtroom, she makes twists and turns through her unique appeal to audiences, letting them into her world where she dreams about love, family, acceptance, adjusting, and her future.
Arlekin Players's production has been translated into English by John Freedman, who calls it "one of the most resonant texts to have emerged in Russia over the last two or three years," and "an incisive look at the complex life of one teenage girl who runs up against insensitive teachers, shifty classmates, a journalist who unwittingly wins her heart, and a couple of experiences that most likely will scar her life forever."
