A story about a writer and his heroes at the "Masterskaya" Theater. Sergey Dovlatov is the new Chekhov, revealed to us in the nineties. His prose is infused with sharp observation, biting humor, tenderness, and deep love for humanity. Dovlatov did not invent plots; life itself constantly threw them at him. Although the era he wrote about has already passed, his works captivate new generations of readers who respond wholeheartedly to his prose. The play is dedicated to the formation of the writer, his responsibility to the readers, and the people he wrote about and for.
