Premiere screenings of the play "The Protagonist" will take place in the Branch of the Pushkin Theater

On April 7 and 8, at 19:00, the premiere screenings of the play "The Protagonist" based on the novel of the same name by Asi Volodina will take place at the Branch of the Moscow Drama Theater named after A.S. Pushkin. Directed by Denis Paramonov.

The Academy is the most prestigious educational institution in the country. Thousands of boys and girls dream of joining it, but even the best of them need luck. Nikita was lucky. Therefore, when he does not come to the exam, everyone is surprised: after all, it is easier to get out of the Academy than to get there. Nikita's choice makes his family think.: Do they know him—and themselves-that well?

"Three years ago, I read a novel by Asi Volodina and immediately fell in love with this text, because the theme that it raises resonates very much with me. When choosing a material, I always adhere to the rule: I must see my contemporaries in it, I must know these people. And in this case, everything worked perfectly — Asya writes about people who live today, and writes about them in modern language," Paramonov said.
