Mironoff Theatre Works
is an enterprise dedicated to creating original theatrical pieces drawn
from life and literature. The plays strive to illuminate various
aspects of the
sad state of affairs we know as "the human condition" with
action set in diverse locales such as Russia, Bohemia, the British
isles and the American South, and across periods, ranging from B.C. to
the present day.
