MARIUPOL
Two Lives. Thirty Years. One War.
5 Feb to 22 Feb
In association with Oxford Playwriting and The Old Fire Station,
Oxford
After successful -in-hand performances
at The Old Fire Station, Oxford, MARIUPOL comes to The Cockpit as a
full production for the first time.
Written by Katia Haddad, MARIUPOL is based on her treasured
memories of the city and accounts of the survivors of the siege.
The play is directed by Olivier-award winning writer and
director John Retallack.
Summer 1992. Mariupol. Galina, a student from Moscow, meets Steve, a charismatic Navy Officer. 30 years later, she comes back looking for him in a bunker under the bombed Azovstal. Even on the opposite sides of the war, their lives are connected.
Set over three fateful encounters in 1992, 2002, and 2022, MARIUPOL is a modern drama, whose characters are faced with intense moral dilemmas.
Katia Haddad is a writer and playwright. MARIUPOL is the author’s personal response to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

John was a founder of the Actors Touring Company (1977- 1985) and the Company of Angels (2000-2010). He is an Associate Artist of Bristol Old Vic. Since 2017 John runs Oxford Playwriting course for professional writers.

"I urge everyone to see this play - heart-breaking and hopeful in equal measure." Audience member, Oxford
The play supports the David Nott Foundation which does incredible work training doctors in countries impacted by conflict and catastrophe including Ukraine. David's book "War Doctor" was a great inspiration to the playwright Katia Haddad when writing Mariupol and one of our reasons for supporting the Foundation.
"War Doctor astounded me by the honesty and bravery of David’s stories from the underbelly of war. Whilst most people prefer to look away, medics like David Nott volunteer on the very front line of human suffering." - Katia Haddad
