‘Mother Russia’
Reminder: Profile Theatre stages the newest work by playwright Lauren Yee, “Mother Russia,” staging through June 22 at Artists Repertory Theatre. A comedy, it explores the curse of freedom, and reveals what happens when old systems and strongmen fall away — but freedom doesn’t taste as good as we thought it would.

The story: Evgeny and Dmitri are just two average guys who dream of cushy government jobs — but when the fall of the Soviet Union puts hiring on hold, they find work surveilling a former pop star instead. As they bumble their way through the assignment, both spying and life under capitalism prove harder than they thought.

Ashley Song and Orion Bradshaw star and Josh Hecht directs.
