Comedy “Woe from wit” has always been like some sort of “calling card” of the Maly Theatre. The play was staged at all times and every generation of artists has played one and sometimes two or three roles in it.

The performance by Sergey Zhenovach has been performed for more than 20 years but it hasn’t lost its vitality, originality and poignancy. It lives with its audience and time combining innovation and sound traditionalism. Every year the performance goes on tours and finds a warm response by spectators. During the performance you will hear music by A.S. Griboedov, M.I. Glinka, A.S. Dargomyzhsky, S.V. Rakhmaninov.
