The Cosmonaut’s Last Message to the Woman He Once Loved in the Former Soviet Union

The Cosmonaut’s Last Message to the Woman He Once Loved in the Former Soviet Union by David Greig

"The most important playwright to have emerged north of the border in years." (Scotsman) Two Soviet cosmonauts, losing contact with the world they left behind; a Scottish civil servant in the throes of a midlife crisis; a Norwegian peace negotiator; a Russian erotic dancer; a French UFO researcher and an Edinburgh speech therapist in search of her missing husband are brought together through an extraordinary thread of connections, which bring us into contact with both the intimate and the epic. Space odyssey meets unrequited love story as The Cosmonaut's last message...explores the incessant search for harmony and peace within all of us.

David Greig is a Scottish playwright and director, known for his ambitious and intricately structured works. In 1990, he became a co-founder of the Suspect Culture Theatre Company in Glasgow. His plays include The Architect, The Cosmonaut's Last Message to the Woman He Once Loved in the Former Soviet Union, Outlying Islands, The American Pilot, and Damascus. Grieg is best know for Dunsinane, a 'sequel' to Macbeth, which was hailed as an instant classic when first seen in an RSC production at London's Hampstead Theatre. Grieg has also created English versions of plays by Strindberg, Euripides, and others, as well as the adaptations Herge's Adventures of Tintin and Peter Pan.
