A television adaptation of the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop Theatre's production of A.N. Ostrovsky's play. Recorded in 2004.

Jan 2004
A production by the Russian Academic Youth Theater based on Thornton Wilder's play of the same name. Life, love, and death are the three components of this performance. The action begins on May 7, 1901, in a small American town. Two families, the Gibbs and the Webb, live next door to each other. Their children attend school, and their entire lives are spent in full view of each other.
The play is a compositional study based on a story by Boris Vakhtin. The desire to introduce the audience to the poetic world of Vakhtin's prose and to find an atmosphere reminiscent of the author led the creators to use the form of studies, stage sketches that are extremely conventional and open to the audience's perception. The search for intonation and the fine line between conventionality and authenticity of experience were central to this work.
