*Essay* takes place in the office of a Teaching Assistant in the history department of a contemporary university. It deals with a first-year student who unwittingly gets caught in a conflict between the T.A. and his chairman about gender politics. The script is full of hilarious academese - the kind where nobody listens, as they’re all too busy promoting their own agendas. Set in the Russia of the 1920s, *The Russian Play* tells the story of Sonya, a flower shop girl with a wry sense of humor about herself. As she says, “Stupid, stupid Sonya!”
