Take the Rubbish Out, Sasha

Take the Rubbish Out, Sasha

In a modest home on the outskirts of Kiev, Katya and Oksana are busy preparing a funeral meal for their beloved Sasha. A husband, a stepfather, an Army colonel. He was all these things until he dropped stone cold dead on the bathroom floor. Read more …

But Sasha isn’t going without a fight.

His women need him. His country needs him. Now more than ever. He and the others must return; they must march again. They have a solemn oath to uphold.

It’s time for the sixth wave of mobilisation. Line up!


The critical consensus

Some tender moments and nice staging choices however make the play a touching meditation on loss and the inconsistencies of legacy.

As it transfers to the Traverse from tomorrow, Edinburgh audiences will also have a chance to enjoy its hard-edged absurdist humour, and its complex layers of meaning.

****(*)Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman, 30/03/2015

In spite of the strong cast, who both minutely and fiercely display the complexities of their family relationships, this is largely a confusing, esoteric and unsatisfying play.

***(*)(*)Irene Brown, Edinburgh Guide, 31/03/2015

Take The Rubbish Out is interesting then, as a glimpse into present day Ukrainian life, but overall, not a wholly satisfying piece of work.
