The premiere. The idea to stage a play from the repertoire of the theater of previous years belongs to Andrei Konchalovsky. In March 1941, Alexander Afinogenov's play was staged for the first time. Starring Vera Maretskaya. More than 80 years have passed, but the story of Masha and Professor Okaemov still sounds as poignant, the characters are recognizable, the problems are eternal. The play is about lonely people who, through total distrust, overcoming themselves, through the burns of the past, unite into a family before our eyes. And Masha becomes the engine of this process – a person who is able to heal souls with his kindness and sincerity.

Romeo & Juliet 18+

Directed by Ivan Lyrchikov. Starring: Alyona Snezhkova, Ivan Lyrchikov, Marianna Toropchina, Peter Kozhevnikov, Kristina Luchina, Maria Sarasek, Lyudmila Purim and others.

The roaring twenties of the USA, mafia fights, prohibition, cigarettes as a symbol of freedom, permissiveness, impunity, euphoria. The USA is a "paradise on earth" where driving music is always blaring, and shootings on the streets have become commonplace. Where two mafia clans: the Montagues and the Capulets share territory and enjoy the carnage.

Where the good old puritanical America has become a thing of the past, and it has been replaced by a depraved and cheerful one. Where everyone is euphoric and reveling in it. But every euphoria ends with depression—the "Great Depression." The performance immerses you in the atmosphere of 1929: noisy, cheerful, driving, the last before a social and personal tragedy and, of course, Shakespearean passions. If you are sure that you have seen "Romeo and Juliet", if you absolutely know exactly what this play is about, come on, the MEL Theater has something to surprise you with.
