Spektaklis „GAL NEDAROM TRAGEDIJOS“ (Yasmina REZA) / ŠIAULIAI

One of the most popular comedies in Lithuania, "Gal nedarom tragedijos" - starts showing in 2026.

"Maybe we don't do tragedy" is, first of all, a fantastic foursome of actors: Giedrius Savickas, Mantas Stonkus, Gelminė Glemžaitė and Milda Noreikaitė.

If you like to laugh, this comedy is a must see! There are few places where one can get such a concentrated dose of laughter.

Even if you've seen it once, watch it again. Seriously - we recommend it. Each performance is a little different and it will surely become a new discovery and an unexpected experience for you.

"Maybe we don't do tragedy" appeared on the stage in the summer of 2022 and became very popular. The comedy became so popular that it was recognized as the most popular in Lithuania based on the number of tickets sold.

What is the secret of such popularity? It's pretty simple: great play + perfectly cast actors + really funny for EVERYONE.

The well-matched cast has never changed. It would be hard to even imagine that anyone else could perform these roles so incredibly well.

After the performance, there is no doubt - Giedrius Savickas is one of the most brilliant comedy actors in the whole country. Long-term and versatile stage experience allows him to present the character with unrestricted improvisations and to give him new colors every time. Petty merchant Valentin is a freak and a loser. It seems that flies would not be hurt, but... in critical situations, he acquires blatant courage. True, then he is no longer responsible for his actions...

Mantas Stonkus is not only an actor, but also an A-class stand-up comedian. This allows him to take his character to the next level in a very clever way. Armand is a lawyer who never lets go of the phone, makes sharp and even cruel jokes. While initially trying to appear solid and important, as the action progresses, he discovers other priorities. What kind? Well... let's just say not quite legal...

Milda Noreikaitė also plays a very important role. Her Veronika is a wife, writer and admirer of African culture. He seems the most excellent and fairest of all the characters in the play. It makes you wonder what is behind this facade of supermom, superwife and superwoman? Don't worry, you will find out. And you will be surprised...

Gelminė Glemžaitė plays the beautiful Aneta, Armand's wife. The latter is, as it were, the most restrained of all. She's cold and wants to stay well-mannered no matter what. At first, she seems to be doing well. But, very unexpectedly, patience runs out... And even then, a real explosion awaits the viewer.

The author of the play is the famous contemporary French playwright Yasmina Reza. The comedy written by her and showered with awards (original title "Le Dieu du carnage") impresses with a great knowledge of the psychology of the characters and a talented development of the dynamics of the action.

The French original, thanks to our actors, is very well adapted to Lithuanian realities and the viewer easily identifies with the parents of two families, caught in a very unpleasant situation.

At the beginning of the play, we learn that Armando and Aneta's eleven-year-old son knocked out two teeth of Valentino and Veronika's son with a stick during a conflict. All the actors meet in the house of the latter to discuss the causes of the conflict and resolve the consequences in a civilized manner. They would like to reach an agreement under the polite scheme of "let's not make it a tragedy", but they are... to put it mildly... not very successful.

"Maybe we are not doing a tragedy" is an unpredictable performance, no matter what you predict, it will still surprise you. It is necessary to remind, the work is not recommended for persons under 16 years of age. The audience is warned: the play involves smoking, uses uncensored language, some scenes may be shocking.
