'Taking the Stage' Contest Winners Premieres in Kyiv

In February and March 2018, Kyiv theatrical scene will welcome the three finalists of the theatrical contest program 'Taking the Stage' organized by the British Council in Ukraine. Let's check out these premieres!

Developed by British Council in Ukraine and 'Theatrical Platform' NGO, Taking the Stage supports artistically original, socially significant, experimental productions and creates opportunities to exchange of ideas, experiences and theatrical practices between Ukrainian and British theatrical professionals.
More than 40 Ukrainian theaters and directors took part in the last year's contest. The jury selected three finalists whose premieres will be presented to critics and theater audience during February and March 2018. These are the following:
