Inspired by true events, this unique and timely play combines theatre, dance, film and virtuosic piano playing.

The Gates of Kiev tells the extraordinary story of Russian pianist Maria Yudina - protestor, wit, dissident and muse to Shostakovich, Pasternak and Stalin. One of the greatest musicians of the 20th century, Maria sacrificed her career to politics, publicly denouncing Stalin and Russian authoritarianism. No one knew how she survived.

The legend is, Stalin and Yudina met…

The cast includes very special guests GALA CHISTIAKOVA and XANDER PARISH – a unique opportunity for Windsor audiences to enjoy the work of two leading international stars of classical music and ballet.

Pianist GALA CHISTIAKOVA was born in Moscow into a musical family and started her piano studies at the age of three. She graduated from Moscow’s renowned Central Music School in 2005, and from the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory postgraduate course in 2012. Since 2000, she has played solo and with symphonic orchestras in concerts throughout the world, and has been a prize winner in more than thirty major international piano Competitions. She now lives in Italy. The play features Gala recreating Maria Yudina’s extraordinary repertoire live on stage, including her legendarily furious rendition of Mussorgsky’s The Gates of Kiev - a thrilling showpiece for virtuoso pianists.

Trained at the Royal Ballet School, XANDER PARISH performed with the Royal Ballet for five years before joining the legendary Mariinsky Ballet in St Petersburg in 2010, where he became principal dancer in 2017. In 2022, he relocated to Norway, joining the Norwegian National Ballet. He was awarded an OBE in 2019 for his contributions to dance and UK-Russia cultural relations, and his numerous international awards include the UK’s Critics Circle National Dance Award for Outstanding Male Performance (Classical). Xander’s breathtaking dance skills are woven into this gripping story by Northern Ballet’s Resident Choreographer, Kenneth Tindall.

LAUGH OUT LOUD HILARITY WITH THIS PLAY WITHIN A PLAY!

Middle Ground Theatre Company Ltd is delighted to present the World Stage Premiere of Dial M For Mayhem, a brand new charming farcical comedy drama from the author and director of the hugely successful courtroom phenomenon The Verdict.

Set in 1991, it follows of a group of travelling actors from south of the Scottish border as they conquer the beautiful unforgiving landscape of the Highlands and Islands village hall circuit to perform Frederick Knott’s classic 1950’s thriller Dial M For Murder.

Set against a backdrop of the unpredictable Scottish weather complete with internal company squabbling, the scene is gleefully set for back stage chaos and laugh-out loud hilarity of the play within the play!
