PLAYWRIGHT, THE GUARDIAN OF THE THEATRE

April 12 marks 195 years since the birth of the great Russian playwright Alexander Ostrovsky, a man whose role in the history of the Maly Theatre can not be overestimated. The Maly Theatre has been long known as the House of Ostrovsky. All his plays were staged in our theatre, many of them he wrote specifically for the actors of the Maly Theatre.

This year the Maly Theatre celebrates the playwright's anniversary with the XII International Theatre Festival Ostrovsky in the Ostrovsky House. It will be held from May 11 to May 17 on the main stage.

And today we invite you to plunge into in the world of Alexander Nikolayevich's plays and watch the recordings of several performances: "Truth is Good, But Happiness Is Better" (Boris Nikolsky's production of 1951, starring Varvara Ryzhova and Evdokiya Turchaninova), "The Storm" (staged by Boris Babochkin, 1977, starring Olga Khorkova and Lyudmila Shcherbinina) and "Wolves and Sheep" (staged by Vitaly Ivanov in 1999, starring Lyudmila Polyakova, Victor Bortsov, Viktor and Alexander Korshunov, Tatyana Pankova, Nikolay Vereshchenko, Anatoly Toropov and Irina Muravyova ).
