Production Description

On 23 and 24 May 2025, the Cockpit in London hosted Nights for Ukraine, a remarkable cultural event uniting the talents of Ukrainian and British artists in an electrifying showcase of theatre and music. This special two-night fundraiser not only honoured Ukraine’s rich artistic voice but also stands as a moving tribute to its resilience in the face of war.
” Nights for Ukraine is more than a cultural showcase. It is a call to attention, a moment of shared witness, and a rallying cry for peace. By bringing together some of the most compelling Ukrainian and British artists working today, the event offers not just entertainment but also solidarity — standing with Ukraine through the power of voice, sound, and stage. All proceeds go toward humanitarian efforts, making every ticket a contribution to hope.” Ukrainian Drama in Translation
