Description

This play explores the lives of Georgian women who leave their homeland and relocate to the United States due to personal or economic reasons. The story centers around Lia, a Georgian woman striving for legal status in America, and Omma, an elderly American woman wishing to spend her final years surrounded by her beloved family. Their contrasting backgrounds and evolving friendship, coupled with humorous and poignant dialogues, provide a window into the life of an undocumented immigrant. The play offers a vivid portrayal of the struggles faced by Georgian immigrant women as they navigate the challenges of adjusting to life in two distinct cultures. It combines entertainment with a deeper reflection on the perils of forced immigration, presenting a realistic depiction of the material and psychological trials faced by immigrants.

Marjanishvili Theatre
8, K. Marjanishvili St.
Kote Marjanishvili State Academic Drama Theatre is a state theatre in Tbilisi, Georgia. It is one of the oldest and most significant theatres in the country, coming second perhaps only to the national Rustaveli Theatre. The theatre was founded in Kutaisi in 1928 by Kote Marjanishvili. It moved to Tbilisi in 1930 to the former Brothers Zubalashvili philanthropic "Public House", the building it still occupies. The theatre's art nouveau edifice was thoroughly renovated and reopened in 2006 with the premiere of Bertolt Brecht's The Threepenny Opera. The theatre building was designed by Polish architect Stefan Kryczyński, while its construction was led by another Polish architect Aleksander Rogojski, municipal architect of Tbilisi.
