Description The Slow Sword premiered at Sputnik Theatre Company to critical acclaim in 2007. The play invites its audience to join Vlad, a young man with a profession, a healthy income and a gorgeous girlfriend, on a tour of the streets of Moscow. As he encounters a cast of degenerates, Vlad's eyes are opened to harsh realities of Putin's Russia. Wrought with dry, cruel humour, this breathtakingly vibrant play will be directed by STC's Associate Director, Tom Wright.
