We Must Live

Cellar Theatre, Sheffield

About the Show

This buoyantly desperate, epic, ridiculous show merges clowning, physical theatre and Russian classics. Tatiana and Julia escape into a Chekhovian world where they find no peace, only suffering, or the greatest joys of love and devastating throes of passion, nothing in between. We must live is the story of tragic heroes and heroines taken from Classical Russian works, and through their lenses, exploring the ridiculous, at times hilarious, and profoundly tragic essence of what it means to be alive.
