Evgeny Mironov: A little schizophrenia on stage is even useful
Hamlet and Khlestakov, Figaro and Lopakhin, Judushka Golovlev and Ivan Karamazov, Myshkin and Treplev, the Apostle, the Muslim and the Pretender and, finally, Caligula - all this is he, Evgeny Mironov, who started out in the role of “the simpleton from “Snuffbox”, and has now grown into one of the first figures of the Russian stage and cinema. No matter what he plays and no matter how diverse he is, in his heroes one can discern the genetic code of a deceptively simple-minded Russian boy.
