Тихий Дон
Arriving in Moscow, Heflin worked as a Reggisseur Practicant at the Meyerhold and Vahktangov theatres, and helped workers on a collective farm produce "And Quiet Flows the Don," an opera. She also worked with an English-speaking cast to stage a production of the Clifford Odets drama "Waiting For Lefty" on a truck-bed in the streets of Moscow, where perhaps the only words understood by the Russians who gathered to watch were, "Strike! Strike!" which brought clamorous cheers from the audience.
