Belarus is called the last dictatorship in Europe. The government censors the arts, so performance troupe Free Theatre Belarus performs secretly, in converted houses, to avoid arrest. American playwright Aaron Landsman went to visit the group in Minsk, and learned what theater is really all about. Produced by David Krasnow and Gretta Cohn.

Fantastic interview. Love you, Alan! You were one of the main influences for me to get back into acting later ...

Really difficult to convey this as a "sound story" and it was done beautifully. Really compelling.
