Galin’s play is a new Lower Depths." The play is concerned with a small group of prostitutes who have been evicted from Moscow just before the tourists arrive for the 1980 Olympics. They’ve been sent to some dilapidated barracks in a mental asylum. There is strong dramatic interaction among these "Olympic Girls" in a sad love affair between one of them and an escaped patient, and in the demands of some offstage clients, which have violent repercussions.
