New York City
1937…Backstage at the Moscow Art Theater. Alexander Mushkin, who was forced by the great Konstantin Stanislavski to play Comrade Rabbit in a children show (as punishment for his drinking), has just finished his last performance. Happy and full of energy, Mushkin is on the way to bigger and better things. Suddenly everything changes when Mushkin is summoned “to give testimony at the NKVD (the Secret Police) headquarters regarding subversive activities at the Moscow Art Theatre…” Alexander Mushkin has only one hour to solve a universal question: “To be or not to be…???” Curious?
