‘We were incredibly proud of what our casts achieved and the improvements to their language skills were amazing. Some of our actors even used lines from the plays in their speaking exams! We were impressed by the dedication and open-mindedness of our audiences, many of whom did not know Russian. The success of the productions illustrated that performance is a universal language. We combined expressive sets with expressive acting, and, at times, slapstick comedy, to ensure the desired effect. Fortunately, it worked!’
