A comedy in five acts by Alexander Ostrovsky. 180 min (with an intermission). Subtitles are available in English, French, German. Once upon a time, this stage production became the theater’s “claim to fame", and today, 25 years later, it is still a part of the program. This production allows the audience to see the classical play from a completely different angle. There’s light play and light sadness, and the poetry of the by-gone world of the Russian estates, Chekhov’s Impressionism, and lots of humour. The play’s story — speculation with bills of credit — is presented in a sharp and even grotesque manner. The director doesn’t stress contemporary connotations, the audience feels them anyway.
