Director Roman Samgin, who has long and successfully collaborated with the Mark Zakharov Lenkom Theatre («Taming the Tamer,» «Under One Roof»), has now turned to Alexei Arbuzov’s play. Written in 1975, one of the author’s most popular plays, «An Old‑Fashioned Comedy,» is a classic of Soviet drama.
Soviet Baltic region, a holiday home by the sea. A meeting between two people with complicated life stories. She is an eccentric vacationer, he is the head doctor of the sanatorium. The characters grow closer cautiously, carefully observing each other. Wary of frankness, which might inadvertently expose unhealed emotional wounds, they are in no hurry to confess their late‑developing feelings.
