Evgeny and Dmitri are just two average guys who dream of cushy government jobs—but when the fall of the Soviet Union puts hiring on hold, they find work surveilling a former pop star instead. As they bumble their way through the assignment, both spying and life under capitalism prove harder than they thought. This prescient and thought-provoking world-premiere comedy by Lauren Yee (The Great Leap, Cambodian Rock Band) reveals what happens when old systems and strongmen fall away, and we let the free market decide—but freedom doesn’t taste as good as we thought it would.

Profile Theatre is producing Mother Russia in association with Desert Island Studios, founded and run by Ashley Song and Joe Bowden, who will be creating pre-recorded and live-stream video featured within the production. Mother Russia, a riotous new comedy about the curse of freedom and having to choose between the Filet-o-fish and the Big Mac, will have its second ever production at Profile Theatre June 5th – 22nd 2025!
