Contemporary Queer Plays by Russian Playwrights is the first
anthology of LGBTQ-themed plays written by Russian queer authors
and straight allies in the 21st century. The book features plays by
established and emergent playwrights of the Russian drama scene,
including Roman Kozyrchikov, Andrey Rodionov and Ekaterina
Troepolskaya, Valery Pecheykin, Natalya Milanteva, Olzhas
Zhanaydarov, Vladimir Zaytsev, and Elizaveta Letter. Writing for
children, teenagers, and adults, these authors explore gay,
lesbian, trans, and other queer lives in prose and in verse. From a
confession-style solo play to poetic satire on contemporary Russia;
from a play for children to love dramas that have been staged for
adult-only audiences in Moscow and other cities, this important
anthology features work that was written around or after 2013-the
year when the law on the prohibition of "propaganda of
non-traditional sexual relations among minors" was passed by the
Russian government. These plays are universal stories of humanity
that spread a message of tolerance, acceptance, and love and make
clear that a queer scenario does not necessarily have to end in a
tragedy just because it was imagined and set in Russia. They show
that breathing, growing old, falling in love, falling out of love,
and falling in love again can be just as challenging and rewarding
in Moscow and elsewhere in Russia as it can be in New York, Tokyo,
Johannesburg, or Buenos Aires.
