Theatre Review

Рамиро Лебедев-Толмач
Have you ever been to the theatre? I hope you have. But I am sure it’s nothing compared to what I’m going to offer you this time. Today you have a marvellous chance.
There is a new musical on. It’s called «Vovan-Superstar». Its producer is Roman V. Some people adore him, others hate him, yet they all agree that he is very different from the rest of his colleagues, because he is a creative person of enormous potential, as he thinks himself…
The peculiarity of this very musical is that most of the actors escaped from prison or were released on parole. Besides that, all the female parts are performed by men, which is no surprise to real connoisseurs of fine art. Another speciality of this spectacular show is that during the interval the theatre bar serves first-rate prison soup and worm-eaten rusks. From time to time careless ladies are taken hostages in the foyer of the theatre. Some of them even manage to get home. But as you understand, these are the things of minor importance.
There is a strict rule that all the spectators are thoroughly searched before and after the show by a mob of incredibly drunk and stupid cops.
Only after this musical you realize what freedom is for. As a result, many husbands return to their former wives, children call their elderly parents at last. And last but not the least. A lot of wealthy people donate large sums of money to the theatre fund.
So, don’t miss your chance and you will start a new life afterwards, if you manage to break free from the theatre building of course…
