Description How do we stay human in times of revolution?

The Reds once the powerless now the powerful. The Whites once absolute rulers now the powerless. The Tsar family are imprisoned by the Bolsheviks in a provincial house.

It is a fact the Romanov girls performed Chekhov to pass the time under house arrest.

But what happens in this last house – of existential chaos, youth versus age, hope versus paranoia, and love versus fear?

β€œTo Moscow! To Moscow! What are you waiting for?”
