"Swedish match" . Directed by Nikita Grinshpun. Starring Evgeny Tkachuk, Roman Chaliapin, Pavel Akimkin, Elena Labutina, Yulia Peresild and others. A cheerful musical performance full of humor and inventiveness, youthfully perky and professionally mature. A year ago, one of the best Russian theater teachers, Oleg Kudryashov, released another course at RATI, which had already become famous. Several of his like-minded graduates did not want to leave. Taking Anton Pavlovich Chekhov’s stories “The Swedish Match” and “The Spouse” as a basis, together with their classmate, director Nikita Grinshpun, they staged an original, bright and difficult to define genre performance, where there is a place for a dashingly twisted detective plot, and a witty parody, and theatrical gag. Theater of Nations on the stage of the shopping center “On Passionate” , 19.00.
