Partners in Crime

For years, "Partners in Crime" stood as a beloved headliner at the Dnipropetrovsk Academic T.G.Shevchenko Ukrainian Music-drama Theatre, consistently packing the house with captivated audiences. This touching and critically acclaimed production, directed by the talented young Ukrainian Diana Stein-Aishe, offered an emotional journey that left a lasting impact.

Released on the theater's second stage on April 10, 2014, "Partners in Crime" delves into the intricate dynamics between a man and a woman in their relentless quest for harmony. The main character, Lisa, brings her husband, afflicted with amnesia, home and convinces him that she is his wife. But who is she truly— a cunning adventuress, a compassionate nurse, or a woman who has lost her faith?

Beyond the surface of everyday life lie hidden problems, and the search for answers takes the audience on an extraordinary and deeply moving journey. The play's resolution is as surprising as it is heartwarming, touching upon themes of memory, love, and the complexities of human connection.

This production excels in its minimalism, with a set featuring a central, ever-turning construction. At pivotal moments, the set reveals a vertical bed that serves as a canvas for both intimate moments and the projection of poignant, dramatic scenes. "Partners in Crime" explores the power of love, trust, and the human spirit, making it a memorable and award-winning work that continues to resonate with audiences.
