Play Description
Daniel's life is in the toilet — his cartoonist career is a failure, his girlfriend has dumped him for a physical therapist and, to top it off, he suspects his identity has been stolen. But with the arrival of a mysterious stranger, Daniel begins to discover that his wildest dreams are coming true. The only problem: he insists he's not doing any of it. LEARNING RUSSIAN explores the day between who we were yesterday and who we will become tomorrow.
