This barely performed script by two highly-talented actors was conceived to commemorate the centenary of the Russian Revolution. It features alchemical works from the Silver Age poets, including Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva, Mayakovsky, Mandelstam, Blok and others. The show demonstrates the enthusiasm, hope and fervour with which the poets welcomed the Revolution before their ultimate betrayal and final disillusionment. Gerrie Skeens is an actress, model, writer, director and photographer. Known for her roles in 'Ravenswood' and 'Red River', Gerrie has appeared in countless productions and won awards in various ceremonies including the 14/48 London Festival, Living Skies Student Film Festival and Pasadena Eclipse International Film Festival.

In collaboration with JAG Art, she appeared in PoArtry of the Revolution, a joint Russian/English language production which she co-wrote, translated and directed.
