The Theatre on Malaya Ordynka invites you to the play "Stolypin and Enemies".
Pyotr Stolypin—who was he? A wise reformer or a cruel satrap? Why was he killed before the eyes of the emperor? Who were his enemies? Why is the president quoting him today? He was exceptionally handsome. A man of honor. A duelist and a monogamist. At 22, he married the fiancée of his brother, who was killed in a duel. And he lived with her for the rest of his short life, which he dedicated to Russia.
Pyotr Stolypin was an extraordinary man, a great reformer, and a sacred victim of the Russian Revolution. He was shot at the Kiev Opera House during an intermission during a performance of "The Tale of Tsar Saltan." Emperor Nicholas II was present. Stolypin's last words were: "I am glad to die for the Tsar…"
The play's literary basis—a book and play by renowned historian Svyatoslav Rybas—contains absolutely reliable facts and verified information. However, the play "Stolypin" is not a piece of journalism, but a vibrant artistic statement, in which elegant set design and historical costumes play a crucial role. Documentary footage and photographs allow one to experience the atmosphere of the Art Nouveau era and the emotional state of the characters. The title role is played by theater and film actor Eduard Flerov, who long before participating in the production became interested in Stolypin and researched his biography.
Stolypin coined the phrase, "We need a great Russia!" These words ring true today.
The production designer is Konstantin Rozanov. The cast includes Eduard Flerov, Alexandra Barysheva, Nadezhda Lutskaya, Kirill Zaitsev, Tatyana Shalkovskaya, Anna Bolshova, Mikhail Polosukhin, Maria Vasilyeva, Dmitry Novitsky, Grigory Arkhipov, Vladimir Tyagichev, Mikhail Klyushkin, Nikolai Simbirtsev, Dmitry Dyachenko, and Danila Kornev.
Duration: one hour 15 minutes without intermission.
