Stanislavsky Prize laureate, Kolyada is named as one of the “fathers” of Russia’s contemporary theatre movement. His plays are a must-see for any person interested in theatre and Russian culture.
Irina, a middle-aged single woman meets young Roman. Unpredictable plot, sparkling humour and heartbreaking reality, the characters go through a roller-coaster of emotions. What is the difference between lies and living in the imaginary world? Those pertinent questions have to be answered by our characters and the audience.
Director: Konstantin KAMENSKIY
Actors: Natasha RADSKI, Arthur USTINOV, Liliya WARD, Konstantin RUNKOVSKI
