The Worldwide Readings Project
A Play by Andrei Kureichyk
by Andrei Kureichyk & John Freedman
The Insulted. Belarus Worldwide Readings Project is a program of dramatic readings that expresses international solidarity with the people of Belarus. Insulted. Belarus is a play by Andrei Kureichyk that highlights corruption and cruelty during the regime of President Alexander Lukashenko, specifically in the early days of the 2020-2021 Belarusian protests, and depicts the Belarusian people as courageous and peaceful in desperate times.
The play was written in August and September 2020 at the height of the protests. By the first week in November 2020, Insulted. Belarus had been translated into 18 languages and had been given 77 readings of various kinds in 22 countries. As of November 2021, the play had received more than 130 readings in 100 venues in 30 countries, had been translated 24 times into 21 languages, and published in nine languages.
