Pigeon
by Tommy Smith
What readers are saying
Readers are disappointed with the play's execution. While the premise of a black American ballerina and her Russian musician husband in the 1930s is intriguing, many feel it lacks depth and leans too heavily into anti-Communist themes without addressing significant social issues like Jim Crow.
Synopsis
THE STORY: Set in depression-era New York City and Stalinist Russia, PIGEON follows the exploits of Leon Theremin, Soviet inventor and father of electronic music.
When Theremin marries a whip-smart black prima ballerina, their expatriate romance shocks society and attracts the looming shadow of foreign terror.
