A play based on the historical novel by Dmitry Merezhkovsky, directed by Sergey Morozov. In his play, Sergey Morozov focuses not on the political intrigues of the 18th century but on the internal conflicts that unfold within each character of the historical drama. For Peter I, it is the conflict of father and ruler; for Alexei, the heir to the throne and son; for Yefrosinya, a loving woman and a figure in behind-the-scenes games. Before the audience unfolds a kaleidoscope of fateful conversations for the heroes, songs of that era, music for ancient instruments, and modern compositions. The story from three hundred years ago, told from today's perspective, gains new dimensions. You can find even more plays in St. Petersburg on our website in the theater section.
