Last week saw the close of Neptune Theatre’s most recent production, Annie Valentina’s new play Ballad of the Motherland. And while the window of opportunity may be closed for now on this production, this work’s impact cannot be understated in the day we live. Through its fearless reimagining of a chillingly relevant news story from 2014, Valentina brings forth a narrative that serves as a claustrophobic window into the looming presence of Russia over Ukrainian identity.
