Maryna Yurevich

Regan

Ms. Yurevich joined Belarus Free Theatre in 2006. In 2008 she was dismissed from the Belarusian Army Theatre for cooperating with Belarus Free Theatre and ordered to pay $12,500 to the state for refusing to work in the role dictated to her. The payment was cancelled after Belarus Free Theatre and actresses Diane Quick and Kim Cattrall launched a campaign in her support entitled “Free the Actress from Slavery.”
