About the book: 2015 / The play is a dramatization of the story of the same name by Alexandra Vasilyeva. Marusya is already a very middle-aged cleaner in a grocery store. Her life is unenviable. Money is a constant problem, she can’t successfully run a business outside of work, and now her son was accused of attempted rape and imprisoned for five years. In a short play, a whole series of very bright characters flash before us, who, despite the era of perestroika described in the work, are also encountered in our everyday life. Almost nothing extraordinary happens in the play, but under a close look, simple stories take on dimension. Just like Marusechka, who appears as one of those very real people on whom the world rests... Even if this is not always immediately noticeable.
