Plays for enterprise projects
Plays for enterprises and private theaters in their artistic merits should not differ from plays performed in repertory and any other theaters. However, the specifics of their rental require that they also meet some wishes technical order: limited number of characters, convenience and portability of scenery, appeal to wide range viewers (usually a comedy or lyrical drama). Below is a list of plays that, in the author’s opinion, are most suitable for performance in enterprise projects. Annotations of these plays are also provided. By clicking on the title of the play, you can see its full text on the Internet.
Two characters
A modern comedy dell'arte in the genre of a cheerful farce. Two clowns and clowns act out a play that is born right in front of the public.Pantomime, acrobatics, circus tricks, music, singing, dance, words merge into a single action.Comedy presupposes the ability of actors to improvise, buffoonery and live contact with the public.2 men, 1 woman, interior.
. This work combines dramatic, melodramatic and comedic motifs.
The bride and groom, successful business people, are forced by the will of circumstances to invite a random person they meet - an already middle-aged man of strange behavior - to be a witness at their wedding. To laugh at the man and have some fun at the same time, a young couple asks him to talk about the women he has loved. The result of the entertainment is quite unexpected. Relations between all three become tense. This meeting decisively changes the fate of each of the heroes. Purity of soul, intelligence, sensitivity, and the ability for deep feeling triumph over rationalism and dry practicality. 2 men, 1 woman.
Three friends - single women of the “golden age” - decide to change their fate and find life partners. This warm comedy convinces the viewer that years are not an obstacle to the search for love and happiness. 3 age female roles. Interior.
.The play has 3 characters: a man, a woman and... a dog (to be played by a child or an actress).
A lonely man, a railway worker by profession, finds a puppy, and very quickly this little devoted dog becomes his only joy and consolation. She responds to this concern with selfless love and loyalty.
The day comes when Mikhail must make a choice: either quit his job or get rid of the dog. After painful hesitation, Mikhail decides to kill his friend. A woman kills animals at a veterinary station. She is trying to save the dog, and with it the soul of its owner. The collision of two truths of the characters, their dissimilar views on true meaning life creates a spring of conflict. The character of the woman – prickly and at times aggressive, but selfless, ready to love and help – gave the name to the play. The play has been translated into English language, staged in New York.
Director Howard Fishman: American Theater Company is proud to present itself in New York with Valentin Krasnogorov's production of "Dog", the first production of this unique and challenging play on the American stage.
What I admire most about her is her nobility of spirit, and the heart that pulsates so vulnerable within her. Without a doubt, this is a difficult play - prickly and subtle, frightening and ambiguous. But she is courageous enough to admit it all and show it on stage, where we can all recognize the parts of ourselves that we try so hard to hide."

Unknown Burliuk
On October 4, the Museum of Russian Impressionism will present the exhibition “David Burliuk. The floor is mine! The exhibition will include more than 50 works by the artist out of 14 state museums and private collections. Among them are works that have never been exhibited at the master’s monographic exhibitions.
Burliuk - painter, graphic artist, poet, art critic- needs no introduction to connoisseurs of the Russian avant-garde, but remains almost unknown to the general public. The exhibition is intended to show the versatility of the artist, to reveal him not only as the “father of Russian futurism,” but also as a lyricist, impressionist colorist, and poet. The artist’s retrospective will be a logical continuation of the museum’s previous exhibition “Impressionism in the Avant-Garde,” since David Burliuk also came to the avant-garde through impressionism. The exhibition will feature works from the 1900s to the 1930s.

There is no other city in the world where theatrical life so rich... In New York or London, for example, there are at most 2-3 good dramatic productions in the entire theater season, and they run as enterprises, every day during the season, and then are removed from the theater’s repertoire. In some theaters in Moscow there are performances that have been going on for years and which, like good wine, only get better, being honed to impeccable performance... If you love theater, and Workshop of Peter Fomenko If this is not an empty phrase for you, then the list of performances I offer below is definitely for you. If you have watched some of the performances recommended below and liked them, then the rest will most likely also be to your taste, and then this is a guide to action. If you watched all these performances and liked them, then you and I will probably just be pleased that our tastes coincide.
If you have never gone to the theater, but decided to fill the gap or impress a girl or young man, then this list is also for you. Feel free to go to any of these performances, and strong impressions and topics for discussion are provided for the rest of the evening. Perhaps the choice will seem too “classical” to some, and you are right - these are my personal preferences: I am not close to shocking in theatrical art. And I also love when everything in a play is strong: the direction, the acting, the set design, and the play itself with dialogue and storyline.
So 35 best performances at 9 theater venues in Moscow.
I'll start with my favorite theater - PETER FOMENKO'S WORKSHOP. The founder of the theater, Pyotr Fomenko, died in 2012, but as a true visionary (“ seer", English. - editor's note), he not only prepared a replacement for himself (Evgeniy Kamenkovich), but also 3 generations of actors, thereby ensuring continuity in quality productions for years to come... In this theater you can watch everything, but there is something that is absolutely must-see.
Performances with the participation of the 1st generation of “Fomenki” (Polina and Ksenia Kutepova, Galina Tyunina, Madeleine Dzhabrailova)
1. "Wolves and Sheep". 5 hours of Ostrovsky classics, and you won’t want the performance to end. I still don’t understand how Fomenko managed to stage the classics THIS way...
2. "War and Peace". The beginning of the novel. Tolstoy is not easy to stage, but you will truly enjoy the performance.
3. "Family happiness". Another performance based on Tolstoy... It’s a breeze to watch.
4. " Theatrical novel» . Familiarization with the biography of Bulgakov or at least with the history of the relationship between his “White Guard” and the Moscow Art Theater is mandatory for a complete understanding of the performance! Only then will you understand the plot completely and laugh throughout the performance. Performances with the participation of the 2nd generation of “Fomenki” (“singing” Polina Agureeva)
5. One absolutely happy village. This is probably the only performance that has been going on for years, and there are still no tickets for it on sale... Polina Agureeva is incomparable.
6. Dowryless woman. It’s worth watching at least for Agureeva’s singing... If you liked “ Cruel romance“You will definitely like this version of Ostrovsky. Performance with the participation of the 3rd generation of “Fomenki”
7. Russian man at rendez-vous. Turgenev looks exciting romantic drama in the cinema... Critics in this performance pay attention to Serafima Ogareva, the performer of the role of Gemma, but I personally predict a great future for the other main character and the actress playing her - Ekaterina Smirnova. This red-haired actress has so much drive and life!!!
Oleg Tabakov, like Pyotr Fomenko, also tries to provide theater venues different directors and actors of different “venerability”. And although the majority female roles performances on the main stage are given to his wife Marina Zudina, my choice falls on performances without her participation.
8. New American. lovely and funny performance staged by Pyotr Stein based on an “assortment” of Dovlatov’s works, where Dmitry Brusnikin plays the leading role, and the ensemble is complemented by Alexander Semchev, Daria Yurskaya, Igor Vernik, Evgeny Kindinov.
9. Messrs. Golovlevs. Watch because of the amazing performance of Yevgeny Mironov - the performance that makes me consider him the best living actor in our country. This is the only performance staged by the “outrageous” Kirill Serebryannikov on my list.
10. White Guard . A good production of a good play with good actors. The director is Sergei Zhenovach, who, due to the availability own theater(Studio Theater Arts) now rarely stages anywhere outside of it, so it’s a great pleasure to watch his work with a whole galaxy of wonderful actors.
11. Kreutzer Sonata. Best work Mikhail Porechenkov in the theater. In my humble opinion.
12. Migrating goose. Prepare handkerchiefs. Everyone is crying. A very sad performance staged by the sad Marina Brusnikina. If you have Bad mood, after watching it it will deteriorate even more... For me personally, Marina Brusnikina’s productions are prohibited in principle - they are too depressing and sad...
13. №13. Insanely funny English comedy. If you want to watch a comedy, then No. 13 - the best choice from the entire list. Have fun in the company of the wonderful Evgeny Mironov.
14. Little Humpbacked Horse. Great musical performance with Irina Pegova as the Tsar Maiden. Children and adults will be delighted!
In this theater, any performance created by the tandem Kama Ginkas (director) - Sergei Barkhin (set design) is already worth watching. If composer Leonid Desyatnikov also joins the tandem, the impression is even stronger. Start with a trilogy of productions of Chekhov's Black Monk-Lady with Rothschild's Dog-Violin in any order.
15. Lady with a dog. A lyrical and familiar story. Ideal for dates. Separately, it is worth noting the scenography.
16. Black Monk. The best of the trilogy. The acting duet Sergei Makovetsky - Igor Yasulovich received for this performance state prize. Deservedly. The performance excites and does not let go for a long, long time.
17. Rothschild violin. I was a little less impressed than The Black Monk, but worth a watch. Barkhin's set design is above all praise, and Igor Yasulovich's performance is no less impressive.
18. K.I. from Crime. One actor performance. Or rather, one actress. Katerina Ivanovna performed by Oksana Mysina is a perfect “explosion of the brain and perception” - incredible intensity and level of skill...
19. Medea. The performance of an unfamiliar performer in the role of Medea was a revelation. It is better for very young mothers not to watch.
20. Meek. Igor Gordin received in 2011 for his role in this play " Golden Mask"for Best Actor. I watched him in a dozen other performances, and I don’t think he’s a good, stable, but “nothing special” actor... I went to watch the performance with curiosity. Perhaps the director of the play worked well with him, perhaps he accumulated a critical mass of skill, but with his performance in this play for me he entered the galaxy of actors for whom one can go to see performances in the future... Dostoevsky’s play was new for me, and together with her amazing performance, Gordina made such an impression on me that after the performance I couldn’t speak at all for some time...
I don’t really like this theater, but from time to time they stage masterpieces there.
21. Autumn Sonata. Strongest game best actress theater of Marina Neelova, who, due to her permanent residence in France, rarely appears on Russian stage. The performance (Bergman's play) will provide the strongest experiences for those women who have problems with mutual understanding with their mothers or adult daughters.
22. Five evenings. At the same time, the play was staged in several theaters in Moscow, but I liked Sergei Garmash’s performance the most. It's worth going for his acting and Evgenia Simonova as a “supporting actress” ( supporting actress - English, editor's note.)
23. Hidden perspective. Chulpan Khamatova in the title role already ensures “must see” status for any performance. The success of this performance based on the play “Timestandsstill” is complemented by the interesting directorial work of Israeli director Evgeniy Arie and the performance of Alexander Filippenko. If you want to go to a performance, after which there will be discussions, discussions, arguments on “ given topic"are guaranteed, then this performance will definitely provide you with such an opportunity.
24. Pygmalion. Classics performed by Sergei Makovetsky. What could be more beautiful and stable?
The theater itself would not be worth mentioning if it were not for the opportunity to look at the wonderful work of the young rising star Yulia Peresild.
25. Warsaw melody. Male main role Daniil Strakhov plays well, but Yulia significantly outplays him.
The theater not only received Yevgeny Mironov as its director, but also a new beautiful venue. Now you can see Mironov in this theater more often than in others...
26. Shukshin's stories. Expectedly good duet of Evgeny Mironov and Chulpan Khamatova. I believe that " to the younger generation“To those not familiar with Russian life in Soviet times, the play itself may not be very interesting...
27. Caligula. I added the play to the list without having seen it myself. But Caligula, performed by Evgeny Mironov and directed by the consistently good Lithuanian director Nyakrosius, seems to me win-win option. In 2012, Mironov received the “Golden Max” in the category “Best Actor” for this role.
28. Grönholm method. For fans of the mafia game, HR employees, psychologists, as well as those who love unusual methods Be sure to watch the interview! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen in theaters a combination of an exciting plot (it looks like a psychological thriller) and excellent acting. The entire quartet of actors perform wonderfully, Chonishvili especially stands out. Quite an unexpected ending.
The theater reform also gave new artistic director— Mindaugas Karbauskis. Look to the future posters for his production and they are guaranteed to be good.
29. Dead souls. Surprisingly squeezed among the mediocre productions of the pre-Karbauski era of the Mayakovsky Theater, this is the best production “ Dead souls", which I have ever seen anywhere. The emphasis is placed in such a way that you are amazed at how nothing changes in Russia...
I haven’t been to this theater for probably 10 years, having seen almost everything there before. But neither “The Bumbarash Passion” nor several more performances with Evgeny Mironov and Vladimir Mashkov are on anymore... Together with you, I will try to return to the good old Tabakerka in the new year...
30. Devil. Another performance that I personally have not yet seen, but the play itself, the director (they say, a talented student of Sergei Zhenovach), and the actors promise a strong impression from the performance. It is especially interesting to look at the performance of Maxim Matveev, whom we have already seen on movie screens.
STI (the theater of Sergei Zhenovach and the only completely “private” theater in Moscow) became a discovery for me last year. Before that, I had seen many of Zhenovach’s performances, but I didn’t know that he had his own stage. In, as in the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop, you can watch everything or almost everything, but I will complete the list with the five best theater performances in my opinion. Pay attention to the “star” of STI - actor Alexei Vertkov.
31. Players. The direction and set design are impeccable. Everything was thought out to the smallest detail, including the animated bust of Gogol at the end of the performance.
32. Boys. Apart from Zhenovach, probably only Pyotr Fomenko could “decompose” this not the most exciting theme from Dostoevsky’s “The Brothers Karamazov”...
33. Seedy family . And in this performance it is obvious that Zhenovach is a student of Pyotr Fomenko and learned from him to stage classics in such a way that the performance is on 4 hours, and you don’t want it to end... Leskov’s work itself was unfamiliar to me, which made the performance even more interesting.
34. Potudan River. Before the performance they feed you baked potatoes in their jackets. The only theater performance for which it is really difficult to buy tickets is sold only “in person” only on the 3rd Sunday of the month. The performance is defined by the director as an “intimate conversation” and is performed in a small hall for 30 spectators.
So, when visiting theaters about once a week, this list enough just until the end of 2013, taking into account the summer holidays. Enjoy your viewing!
