Play «While She Was Dying»

Before the New Year, the windows of a huge city glow from within with multicolored Christmas lights. It seems that behind every window people are waiting for their New Year wishes to come true. Could two lonely women — the elderly sick mother Safiya and her no longer young lonely daughter Galiya — have imagined that their measured, calm life could be turned upside down by a banana peel thrown in the stairwell? And could the aging Ilgiz, who mixed up the house address, have imagined that he would accidentally end up in a home where he would find a wife, a mother-in-law, and even a grown daughter? When and why does a lie told to save someone lead to happiness? You can get answers to all these questions by watching this play.
