A popular love story written by Alexei Arbuzov 40 years ago. The plot by playwright Alexei Arbuzov is very old. And not only because "Old-Fashioned Comedy" has been staged many times as one of the best plays for a double benefit. The playwright told a love story that can easily be experienced at any age and in any couple. The "symptoms" of this illness are always the same. Two independent, self-sufficient people meet, seemingly not needing anyone. But sympathy always arises before they realize it. And from it begins the game, when each intuitively wants both to conquer and to be conquered. The main script of love in life is inevitably one, and from the perspective of an outside observer, its touching nature inevitably brings a smile. Hence the old-fashionedness and the comedy. Only the beauty is that this well-known plot from life each couple transforms in an unimaginable way into a unique romance that is unmatched. This miracle also happens in the theater with Arbuzov's play. "Old-Fashioned Comedy" has been performed many times, including by Alisa Freindlich and Igor Vladimirov. And each time it was a new story, new experiences. Now, the People's Artists of Russia Era Ziganshina and Sergey Parshin have created their version. The well-known text about the chief physician of the sanatorium and his eccentric patient, who disrupts the regime and peace, sounds familiar. But behind it is an important thought that love cannot be old-fashioned. For more performances in St. Petersburg, check our website in the theater section.
