Mother Russia at Penobscot Theatre Company

2 spies.  A Pop Star.  Glasnost.  Respect your mother. 

When the iron curtain falls, what’s next? In the spring of 1992, Communism has fallen and brought a crush of Capitalism to the former Soviet Union.  Two hapless Russian comrades find themselves in dead-end jobs, part of a mistaken-identity love triangle, and pursued by the jealous leader of the KGB.  As the situation tumbles out of control, they are soon left completely, hilariously dumbfounded by a whole new world full of choices.
