m. The play of Ivaškevičius tells of a deadly struggle boiling in the family of Russian classic Lev Tolstoy (1828-1910) several months before the writer's death. O. Koršunovas masterfully constructs the performance from the fantastically rich play of M. Ivaškevičius. At the director's request, the playwright broadened one of the main roles, Certkov, who is also a real historical person. He is a man who became a friend of the Russian classic Lev Tolstoy's family, gaining full confidence in the writer, becoming his "man - secret weapon" and making the writer's family life in his last year of his life. The main victim of this intrigue became Tolstoy's wife Sofja Andrejevna.

Tolstoy in the play or in this performance. The winner of the National Prize actress Nelle Savichenko plays here for two, both for the invisible writer, and for the fantastically strong woman, his wife, for the love of passion and boundless love. If Anton Chekhov said that one of his plays contains "three fallow love", then in this play of M. Ivaškevičius about Lev Tolstoy is all three hundred fallow passionate, reckless, inhumane, all -creating and destructive female love, Lies on the shoulders of the Nelle Savichenko character (and thus on the actress herself).

Anna Karenina) features. "This performance will be a pronounced phenomenon," said director O. Koršunov before the premiere. - While working here, I found out that the Lithuanian Russian Drama Theater has a particularly strong troupe of actors, able to perform difficult stage tasks and perform great "solo parties". It also happened to me here with this play, as always happens to Ivaškevičius' dramaturgy: you start to understand what good play he created, only when it is built on the theater scene. This was the case with his "outburst", and so is now here. After all, modern drama is not just what the playwright is creating now. A true modern drama is the one that is created now and which gives the impulse, dictates the example of a new stage language for our entire theater. It really exists in this play of Ivaškevičius. "
