The White Factory is a daring collaboration between author and playwright Dmitry Glukhovsky, one of Russia’s most celebrated contemporary writers and Maxim Didenko, a visionary theatre director who has revolutionised the Russian theatrical landscape – both of whom are political exiles and vehemently outspoken critics of the war against Ukraine.

This powerful and urgent new play is inspired by real events, with a haunting contemporary resonance and will premiere at the Marylebone Theatre this autumn, running from 14 September to 4 November, with press night on 18 September.

Spanning several decades, The White Factory explores the life of Yosef Kaufman, a Holocaust survivor from Lodz, haunted by his wartime experiences as he tries to build a future with his new family in 1960’s Brooklyn. Tormented by the nightmares of his past, Yosef’s attempt to negotiate the weight of his own history becomes a passionate battle for survival and redemption.
