Performance based on the stories of Mikhail Zoshchenko

Nervous people. We encounter them everywhere: in transport, shops, in theaters and cinema, at work and even at home. In communal apartments especially. It would seem that the faces are by no means attractive. Can they be of any interest to anyone? Of course, they can, if Mikhail Zoshchenko spoke about them and could not only see, but also masterfully show the director Boris Wojciechowski.

There is a lot of open, unkempt and frank in the play - everything is naked here: impulses of feelings, fractures of characters, aspirations. The audience’s great sympathy is caused by the artist Kuzkin, who became a homeless “through the fault of the Soviet regime” and fell into an absurd situation in the theater, and the cleaning lady Natalya, who dreams of becoming a ballerina and expects blessings for marriage, and the barmaid who naively longs for great love. Zoshchenko loves these people and yearns if they live a small life, oppressing each other with misunderstanding, wasting their energy. On the other hand, he sees with great joy and appreciates their desire to gain their own dignity. Let often this desire is inept and can even be funny.

Boris Wojciechowski through his actors skillfully shares with the audience a recipe for humor from the master of laughter Mikhail Zoshchenko, whose stories exist like a genuine "encyclopedia of the philistine", a guide to diseases of the senses: envy, cowardice, fear, selfishness, greed. But how it all looks from the stage! Two acts of continuous laughter. "Nervous people" is a performance that can make laugh even those who have long forgotten how to smile.

The premiere of the performance took place in April 2002.
