Sometimes the best way to distract yourself from the everyday hustle and bustle is to watch how characters in plays find themselves in much more amusing situations. The heroes fall in love, quarrel, weave intrigues, try to maintain their reputation, and, of course, constantly face the most unexpected circumstances. “Mosbilet” has compiled performances that will help you spend the evening easily and in a good mood — timeless classics and plays by contemporary playwrights.
“The Importance of Being Earnest” at the Mayakovsky Theatre
Two Victorian gentlemen are willing to do anything for love, even invent a name for themselves—Ernest—because their chosen ladies are convinced that a true suitor must be called exactly that (in English, the adjective earnest — “serious” — sounds like this name). But the harmless game of pseudonyms gradually becomes a real whirlpool of confusion, confessions, and social intrigues.
“The Importance of Being Earnest” in Anatoly Shulyev’s production is a witty story about love, reputation, and what results from the desire to seem better than you are. Tickets are available on the service “Mosbilet”.
“Eva misses traveling” at the School of Dramatic Art theater
Eva lives by her own routine: morning coffee, cinnamon buns, meetings with a friend, and short trips to the ocean. The measured life in Porto seems almost perfect until she gets a new neighbor, Flora. Their chance acquaintance disrupts the usual course of events and forces both heroines to look at their lives in a new way.
“Eva Misses Traveling” by Maria Simonova — a story about friendship, changes, and unexpected encounters capable of turning even the most carefully built world upside down. Directed by Dmitry Kirichenko. Tickets can be purchased through the service “Mosbilet”.
“The Taming of the Shrew” at the Theater on the Southwest
What happens if you forget the canons and let William Shakespeare have a little fun? At the Southwest Theatre, “The Taming of the Shrew” turns into a noisy, sparkling game where the classic text allows improvisation, and love battles go hand in hand with subtle humor.
Katherina and Petruchio clash in a battle of characters, each striving to outwit the other. Valery Belyakovich’s production is full of laughter, energy, and vivid acting, and it also serves as a reminder that sometimes our strength lies precisely in our weakness.
Tickets can be purchased through the service “Mosbilet”.
“Perfect Calculation” at the Sovremennik Theatre
George Redfern is tired of relatives who shamelessly claim his house, money, and personal space. To finally be left alone, the head of the family devises a desperate plan: he declares himself the leader of an international counterfeit gang. Will he manage to convince those around him, and will the game go too far?
“The Perfect Calculation” is a comedy about family relationships and the fine line between harmless cunning and dangerous deceit. The director is Dmitry Kreminsky. Tickets are available on the service “Mosbilet”.
“Eight Loving Women” at the Mossovet Theatre
Christmas Eve, a country house, and eight women. When the head of the family is found murdered, the heroines start their own investigation — and gradually secrets, old grudges, and unexpected motives come to light.
The Mossovet Theatre offers its version of the famous play by Robert Thomas, familiar to many from François Ozon’s film. “Eight Loving Women” directed by Evgeny Marchella is a witty detective story with vivid characters, rapid mood shifts, and unexpected twists.
Tickets can be purchased through the service “Mosbilet”.
“The Crazy Day, or The Marriage of Figaro” at the Lenkom Theatre of Mark Zakharov
Disguises, secret meetings, love intrigues, and unexpected confessions — this is how the day will unfold in Count Almaviva’s house. The cunning Figaro, resourceful Susanna, jealous count, treacherous Marcellina, and passionate Cherubino find themselves caught up in a game that becomes tangled within just a few hours.
“The Mad Day, or The Marriage of Figaro” at the Lenkom Theatre is a famous production by Mark Zakharov, dedicated to the memory of Andrey Mironov. A sparkling sharp satire and music influenced by the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Gioachino Rossini turn the classic story into a theatrical celebration.
