One of the outstanding Russian playwrights Alexander Ostrovsky created 47 original plays of different genres: from tragedy to comedy to drama sketches. The development of the Russian drama depended on Ostrovsky a lot. Once Ivan Goncharov (a famous Russian novelist and censor) wrote to Ostrovsky: «Now you’ve accomplished the structure of Russian drama which was founded by Fonvizin, Griboyedov, Gogol. It’s only since the appearance of your plays we, Russians, can claim proudly: «We have a Russian national theatre».
It would be a hard task: to find a Russian dramatist with such a variety of performances. Written in the 19th centuary his plays entered the third millennium. But what attracts the XXI centuary theatre in these plays? Now a young director Ulanbek Bayaliev is staging «The Storm». What a spectrum of different stage versions of the play in different times! And what shall we see now?
First night is scheduled to March, 25 at the New Stage of the Vakhtangov Theatre.
The play is recommended for audiences over 16 years old (16+).
