Eimutis Kvoščiauskas presents a one-man show based on true events: The Grandmother They Called a Bandit.
On November 7th, at The Tabernacle in London, actor Eimutis Kvoščiauskas presents a one-man show based on true events—a touching and deeply moving story from his own family history. At the heart of the performance is Eimutis’s grandmother, Ona Liutvinaitė-Kvoščiauskienė, who, in the post-war years, was forced to choose between fear and loyalty to her family and values.
It is a story about the era of the Lithuanian partisans, love for one’s family, the price of freedom, and human resilience in the face of the direst circumstances. This is not merely the story of a single family; it is the story of an entire generation whose destinies were transformed by war, occupation, and the fight for freedom.
This production was born in the forests of Lithuania—the very place where the events depicted actually unfolded. Now, this extraordinary story comes to London for the first time.
An evening that leaves no one indifferent. An evening that lingers in the mind, inviting silence, reflection, and a sense of pride.
