The Theatre on Trubnaya invites you to the play "The Tricks of Scapin".

Two feuding families, a love drama, and death at the end. Isn't this William Shakespeare? No! It's Jean-Baptiste Moliere. Special effects like Transformers, fights like John Wick, a twisted plot like a Nolan film, a tragedy like Titanic, and, finally, Ryan Gosling in the lead role. None of this will happen under any circumstances. Masks, farce, utterly ruined common sense, and laughter until you choke. That's why audiences go to this show.

Directed by Rodion Vyushkin. Starring Nikita Melnikov, Daniil Dodeltsev, Stepan Romanenkov, Matvey Baryshev, Matvey Donchenko, Ivan Brilkov, Varvara Gruver, Anna Farnieva, and Ivan Krivitsky.

Students from VGIK take part in the performance.

Duration: one hour 30 minutes without intermission.
