Get The Last Word tickets

A searing multimedia performance based on the last words of women accused of political crimes in Russian courts.

Featuring powerful, outspoken messages of the last words of Russian defendants such as Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova of “Pussy Riot”, Alla Gutnikova, Sasha Skochilenko, Zarifa Sautieva and others, The Last Word shines a light on their courage and paints a timely and devastating picture of Russia’s current regime.

The Last Word is performed by acclaimed actor Alisa Khazanova (The Woman in Black), and is directed by award-winning director Maxim Didenko, and reunites the creative team from last year’s five-star, Offie Award-winning production of The White Factory.

The Last Word is playing the Marylebone Theatre in London from 5 to 21 September 2024.
