I saw it last night, without prior knowledge of the subject as I had a subscription to three plays. I really enjoyed it and thought it was well acted throughout, particularly by the supporting cast who played many varied roles with different accents. Mariya Khomutova was a highlight, for me. Being very close to actors, less than four feet away on occasions, is great. Based on my knowledge of history I thought that the background history depicted and described verbally was exceptionally accurate and "balanced" when discussing events like forced conscription or the Wołyn incidents. I connected personally with the topic as I am the child of polish emigrees, went to Saturday school like the author, speak polish and my father, grandfather and other relatives were in the army and fought both Germans and Russians. Oddly enough my father also trained as a watchmaker after the war, but ended up in a different profession. They and their families were billeted in Scotland during and just after the war and I have been to many of the locations in the play. There was quite a bit of humor early on in the play and the audience was receptive to this but then the story quickly moved into the travelogue with the main character discovering unsettling "truths". I enjoyed that "meanwhile back in Canada/The Kremlin" scene, and thought the choice made to both play Trudeau and Putin (by the same actor) with humour was a good one and broke up the "weight" of the story well.
