    It's the year 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed and everyone was ready for a new start.

    Pleasure Little Treasure is an autobiographical solo show about growing up in the very first strip club in post-Soviet Estonia during the tumultuous 1990s.

    From the empty supermarket shelves and the Russian mafia ruled streets, to finding solace in McDonald's Happy Meals and the prospect of the new bright future; this show is a raw and poignant reflection on patriarchy, toxic masculinity and living under the male gaze.

    In the midst of it all, there will be an appearance of a naughty macho drag king Elon Must, respects paid to Depeche Mode, some clowning and goofing around.

    "A triumph"

    "Brilliant, consummate"
    Open Door (previous solo show LAURA)
    "Brilliantly funny and devilishly brutal"
    Theatre Weekly (previous solo show LAURA)
    "Equally powerful and sincere"
    LondonTheatre (previous solo show LAURA)
    "Alminas is a force of nature"
    LondonPubTheatres (previous solo show LAURA)
    "It is rare you find a play where everything just fits, and where a single character can suck you in and you willingly go along for the ride."
    A Younger Theatre (previous solo show LAURA)

    "It is precisely these types of projects, involving these types of people, in these types of theatres that make London what it is."
