description
e weeks directing his play, Conversations in Tusculum, in Kyiv, Ukraine, American playwright and director Richard Nelson kept a diary. Here the mundane, the artistic, and the ongoing war entwine in a visceral account of making theatre in a different world at a time and a place where it has come to have a very special meaning.

A profoundly moving, exceptional, essential story, full of humor, self-questioning, confusions, doubts, fears, heartbreak, and joy, set in the middle of a beautiful, magical city under attack.

"In this deeply stirring chronicle of making theater in a time of war, Richard Nelson deploys the same sensibility that shapes his plays, moving from curiosity to empathy to invaluable insight. Drama, for Nelson, has always been about creating an endlessly evolving conversation - on the stage, yes, but also with the time and place and people it reflects. Here, that dialogue echoes with a thrilling new urgency. Nelson's Kyiv diaries radiate hope for the endurance and necessity of theater." - Ben Brantley

"I have never read a theatrical diary before like Richard Nelson's. In describing the process of staging his play, Conversations in Tusculum, in Kyiv, Mr Nelson gives a deeply moving picture of the grit, determination and heroism required to create theatre in a time of war: " - Michael Billington
