Steve likes Masha; Masha likes Nikolai; and Egor just wants to win a microwave. It’s another day at the office for the workers of St. Petersburg’s infamous (real-life) Internet Research Agency, whose job is manipulating social media to advance Russia’s agenda at home and abroad. Set in the lead-up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election, office comedy meets political satire in Sarah Gancher’s shape-shifting examination of the power, seduction, and danger of a good story. A New York Times Critic’s Pick.
“an excellent job of showing us the reality-irreality fault line. Many of us don’t want to remember 2016, or see the way it’s echoed in our current election discourse. But Gancher insists on our deeper reflection, and makes us sit with our memories… a wild dreamscape comedy” New Yorker
