[Theater and Dance]

*Oberlin College Theater Presents *
*The Promise*by Aleksei Arbuzov
directed by Paul Moser

December 5, 6, 7 at 8 PM
Hall Auditorium, Oberlin College, Oberlin, OH

1942. Leningrad under Nazi Siege. A girl and two teenage boys huddle
together in a desolate apartment. 1946. Victory against the Nazis. The two
men return from the war, full of stories and promises. 1959. The Big Thaw
and the dawn of a new era. Reunited once more, the friends raise three
wine-glasses in a toast: “Let's not ever betray the winter of '42.” “Or
ever come down to earth.” This is *The Promise*, written by Aleksei
Arbuzov, a vibrant story of young love amidst the ever-changing landscape
of Soviet Russia. Arbuzov draws on the tradition of Russian Realism,
finding both humor and humanity in tragedy. The play follows Lika, an
aspiring scientist, and the two friends hopelessly in love with her—Marat,
the would-be hero, and Leonidik, the eccentric writer—through seventeen
years of their lives. But as the war and the world change them, their
childhood bond cannot stay the same.
