To mark the centenary of the Russian Revolution, award-winning The Off-Off-Off-Broadway Company bring their political comedy-drama Hidden Mother to Liverpool Fringe, having already enthralled Liverpool audiences as part of Shiny New Fest last year.

In her mind Diana is a glamorous singer-raconteuse in Petrograd, and Leon her accompanist. In reality the pair are patients in a British mental asylum heading for closure. When not singing folk songs or reminiscing about her life as a Russian aristocrat felled by the Revolution, Diana is forced to confront her true memories of life with an unstable mother. What will happen to this fragile human being when her only sanctuary looks set to vanish forever?
