What is Moscow Stations : a Play about?
Venichka Yerofeev [Venya], cultured alcoholic, self-mocking intellectual, regales us with an account of his 'heroic' odyssey from Moscow to neighbouring Petushki. Stories of his rich, turbulent inner life abound as he staggers through Brezhnev's Moscow and encounters dangerous, eccentric and often hilarious strangers on trains. His journey ends when fate cruelly intervenes - curtailing the vivid panorama of Russian life that we have seen through Venya's eyes. Stephen Mulrine's adaptation for one actor of Yerofeev's cult novel has been highly acclaimed on BBC Radio 3, at the Edinburgh Festival and in the West End in Tom Courtenay's 'blissfully funny' performance. Venedikt Yerofeev was born in 1938 and died in 1990 of throat cancer in a tragic parody of his autobiographical hero's fate. His fame rests essentially on the novel, Moscow-Petushki, written in the 1970s and published in sixteen languages
