A Gulag Mouse

A Gulag Mouse*

April 24 – May 11, 2025

by Arthur M. Jolly

September, 1949 in post-war Soviet Union, we meet the privileged and pretty Anastasia, who is sent to a Siberian gulag (prison) for the murder of her abusive husband, her arrival destroys the intricate web of hierarchy, alliance, and treachery among the other four inmates of her bunkhouse. To save herself, Anastasia must save all of them: the prostitute, the killer, the crone...and Pruska - the mouse. Bristling with a visceral tension that explodes into brutal ferocity as these ladies are faced with choices that asks them to surrender their own humanity. Arthur M. Jolly's harrowing drama asks the question: How far will you go to survive?

Directed by H. Russ Brown
