Elsa's Land

Yaroslava Pulinovich is one of the most sought-after contemporary playwrights; her plays are performed in many theaters across Russia, as well as in England, the USA, Poland, Romania, and Bulgaria; she is a laureate of the awards "Debut", "Eurasia", "New... Play" ("Golden Mask"), "Textura", "To the New Ostrovsky". In Pulinovich’s short dialogue, a person's character is revealed, and in one act—a whole life. The details are always very accurately noted and the nerve is caught. There is never a happy ending, but there is always hope. Just like in life. "Pulinovich is a playwright of vital power, the power of life, which is discovered every time in her characters." Pavel Rudnev "A rare blend of talent and great love for people. Reading Pulinovich's plays is no less interesting than watching the performances based on them."
