Theatre production. France 2017, 191 min. A Comédie Française production. Directed by Denis Podalydès. A play by Edmond Rostand. In French with Russian subtitles. Cyrano is cursed with a prominent nose but gifted with words. He uses this gift to help handsome Christian win Roxane’s heart, whom he also loves...“When we, comedians of la Comédie-Française, stage plays, we consciously feel this desire to show off this theatre of ours, to show everyone why we love it and why we want to be here.” With these words in mind, award-winning director, stage and cinema actor Denis Podalydès takes over the historical stage. Opera buffa, tragedy, romantic drama, symbolist poetry, slapstick comedy… all genres are called upon to give life to this staging of one of the most emblematic texts of the French repertoire! Denis Podalydès needs little introduction: he is a cinema and TV actor, a stage comedian, a director, a writer, a playwright... There isn’t much he hasn’t done yet! He took on a new challenge when staging Cyrano de Bergerac for la Comédie-Française, one of the most beloved plays of the national repertoire. Awarded the Molière for best director in 2006 for Cyrano de Bergerac. Nominated 3 times at the Césars (French Oscars).

Theatre production. Great Britain 2016, 167 min. Directed by Dominic Dromgoole. Composed by Claire van Kampen. In English with Russian subtitles. Vincentio, Duke of Vienna, disgusted by the immorality in his city, announces his withdrawal from public life and leaves his deputy, the puritanical Angelo, in charge. Angelo, in his zeal for observing the letter of the law, begins a ruthless programme to stamp out sexual licence, in the course of which he condemns one Claudio to death. Surely Claudio’s virginal sister Isabella, a novice nun seeking mercy for her brother, could not awake the lust of this cold, censorious man? Injustice, hypocrisy and the challenge of inflexible virtue combine in Shakespeare’s most searching exploration of sexual politics and social justice.

Theatre production. Great Britain 2016, 165 min. Directed by Jonathan Munby. Designer Mike Britton. Composer Jules Maxwell. Starring: Jonathan Pryce, Michael Hadley, Rachel Pickup, Phoebe Pryce, Dominic Mafham, Dan Fredenburgh. In Venice, the epicentre of consumption, speculation and debt, Bassanio borrows money from his friend Antonio to finance his attempt to win the hand of Portia, a wealthy heiress. Antonio, in turn, takes out a loan from the moneylender Shylock. The loan will be repaid when Antonio’s ships return to the city. But if they should fail, and the money cannot be repaid, Antonio shall give to Shylock a pound of his own flesh. And they do fail. And Shylock will have his ‘bond’. In some of his most highly-charged scenes, Shakespeare dramatizes the competing claims of tolerance and intolerance, justice and mercy, while in the character of Shylock he created one of the most memorable outsiders in all theatre. A revival of the thrilling 2015 Globe production with Jonathan Pryce as Shylock.

Theatre production. UK 2017, 106 min. Directed by Simon Stone after Federico García Lorca. In English with Russian subtitles. The incredible Billie Piper (Penny Dreadful, Great Britain) returns in her Evening Standard Best Actress award-winning role. A young woman is driven to the unthinkable by her desperate desire to have a child in Simon Stone’s radical production of Lorca’s achingly powerful masterpiece. The unmissable theatre phenomenon sold out at the Young Vic and critics call it "an extraordinary theatrical triumph" (The Times) and "stunning, searing, unmissable" (Mail on Sunday). Billie Piper’s lead performance is described as "spellbinding" (The Evening Standard), "astonishing" (iNews) and "devastatingly powerful" (The Daily Telegraph). Set in contemporary London, Piper’s portrayal of a woman in her thirties desperate to conceive builds with elemental force to a staggering, shocking, climax.
