Gagarin Way

Gagarin Way is a cruel, funny, first play by Scottish playwright Gregory Burke, about a human heist gone horribly wrong. Gary wants to make the ultimate political statement. Eddie has always been interested in violence. Frank is a symbol of multinational capitalism. And Tom? Tom just came back for his hat. Existentialism, the crisis of masculinity, globalization and anarchy are on the agenda in this black comedy hailed among the best of 2001 by The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, and The Observer. Gagarin Way stunned audiences when it appeared at the 2001 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and stormed into London’s West-End following its sell-out season at the Royal National Theatre.
