About The Play
Contemporary Moscow. Sasha, a young lawyer, is approached by charismatic bandit, Sergei Medvedev. Recently escaped from prison with a series of fresh raids behind him, Medvedev’s ‘connections’ leave Sasha with little choice but to delve into the mysteries of the criminal’s past…
The ensuing investigation brings Sasha face to face with victims across the city – from Georgian marketeers to Romany gypsies. Questions immediately surface. What role did Medvedev actually play in these crimes? Who is the ‘fellow countryman’ paying Sasha on Medvedev’s behalf? Uncertain of the truth and embroiled in a dangerous game, the lawyer soon becomes aware of a new relationship forming – between his wife and his enigmatic client.
Rich in the atmosphere of Russian folklore, The End of the Sentence is a psychological thriller inspired by real events. It is also a jigsaw puzzle that fits together in more than one way.
