Downstage Left proudly presents Against the Grain, by Darren Katz.
Winter, 1943. As the Siege of Leningrad tightens its grip, two scientists guard a seed vault designed to preserve humanity. Faced with starvation, yet surrounded by food they refuse to touch. When a desperate intruder forces his way in, the moral line they have defended for years suddenly becomes unbearable. Nina and Olga must confront an impossible question: will they save the world or save themselves? A thrilling new work inspired by true events.
Against the Grain will preview at the Badhuistheater, Amsterdam on August 7–8 before its debut at the 2026 Edinburgh Fringe.
More details coming soon.
