About the Show

The Soviet ideal of Womanhood is the subject of Glebov’s play Inga -if such an ideal could exist, if being Man’s equal whilst maintaining feminine ‘difference’ was even possible in that society.

The action takes place in a pre-revolutionary clothing factory which Inga must drag into the Soviet era — a task to be completed in the face of the entrenched attitudes of the women as well as the men with whom she lives and works.

A proto-feminist play still relevant 90 years after it was first staged.
