21, 22 November, 2015 “Cemetery Club” by Ivan Menchell (translation of M. Barsky) was premiered on the Major stage of the Theatre Vakhtangov Theatre

The stage-director Algirdas Latenas and his crew, consisting of set-designer Gintaras Makaryavichus, costume designer Sandra Straukayte and Faustas Latenas as a composer, have created a touching and subtle production. This a story about three women, three friends, Ida, Lucille and Doris, united by one tragic circumstance – death of their husbands.

How should one live, as the years go by and the most precious in life is lost after the death of beloved husbands? Ida, Lucille and Doris have their own recipe: they create a “cemetery club” and get together every month in a place of eternal rest, talking to and about their husbands.

One of the three friends, Doris, has come to terms with the fact that the past won’t let her go. The other one studiously pretend to be easy blessed by her husband’s shadow and is set free into a new life. The third widow- quite unexpectedly – experiences mutual love, which becomes a real test for the “cemetery club”.
