THE ROAD TO RUIN by Richard Dresser

VARIATIONS ON THE DEATH OF TROTSKY by David Ives
Directed by Nicki LaPorte
In comic fashion, revolutionary Leon Trotsky dies over and over again from a mountain-climber's axe-wound received many hours prior. Ultimately, Trotsky talks directly to his assassin who, while posing as a gardener, actually helped make some flowers in the garden grow. This sparks Trotsky to make his final philosophical statements on human life before he dies a final time.
The plays will be performed in an intimate setting in the rotunda of Trinity-on-Main Performance Center in New Britain.
