Venichka Erofeev (Venya), cultured alcoholic, self-mocking intellectual, regales us with an account of his heroic odyssey from Moscow to provincial Petushki. Stories of his rich, turbulent inner life abound as he staggers through Brezhnev's Moscow and encounters dangerous, eccentric and often hilarious strangers on a train. His journey ends when fate cruelly intervenes curtailing the vivid panorama of Russian life that we have seen through Venya's eyes. Stephen Mulrine's adaptation for one actor of Erofeev's cult novel has been highly acclaimed on BBC Radio 3, at the Edinburgh Festival, London's West End, and New York in Tom Courtenay's blissfully funny performance.

Quotes

  • Jzan Lohas quoted9 years ago
    What can I drink in Thy Name? Alas, I haven’t a thing worthy of Thee. Kuban vodka’s horse-piss, and fortified rosé at a rouble 37! Jesus! But if I should reach Petushki today, in one piece, I’ll create a cocktail which can be drunk without shame in the presence of God and man alike. And I’ll call it The Waters of Jordan, or The Star of Bethlehem.
