Halifax based 2b theatre is one of Canada�s most exciting small companies. We are thrilled to be able to present their production of two one-act plays by Canadian
playwright Hannah Moscovitch.

Mexico City is a comedy about a suburban Canadian couple on holiday in Mexico City in the 1970s. They have brought everything with them from Mississauga � cameras, Hawaiian shirts, and their frustrations with each other � but the city gradually works its transformative magic on them.

The Russian Play recounts the tale of a Russian peasant girl named Sonya, the �foolish mistakes� of her youth, and the love affair that leads to her ruin. Set amidst the doomed men and rotten ideals of Stalinist Russia, this is a wonderfully dark, dramatic and pre-eminently �Russian� play. Chekov and Dostoyevsky lurk in the background.
