A few years ago, a team of Russian lawyers discovered evidence of corruption by the Russian government – proving the theft of \u00a3145m of public money.<\/p>\n

Understanding the risk to their lives, the lawyers took asylum abroad. Except for one of them…. 37-year old Sergei Magnitsky stayed in Moscow to testify against the Russian government. But before he could do so, Magnitsky was arrested and held without charge. A year later, he was dead.<\/p>\n

Inspired by previously unreleased evidence of Magnitsky\u2019s treatment during his year in detention (obtained from independent journalists in Russia), playwright Elena Gremina has woven together a dramatic tale which gives a fascinating insight into the dark heart of modern day Russia.<\/p>\n

Performed in English. For details on special events and talk-back sessions please visit the theatre website.<\/p>\n
