Her talent is to drive men mad.

Of course, not the only one. A great actress. A real diamond on the stage.

Young, talented, but inexperienced actress hopes for a successful career in the theater.

It's not good enough to be an actress to play well on stage. The theatrical world dictates its rules - one must be more supportive of some members of society, a little more compliant, then there will be major roles. An actor, after all, is a public profession?

The girl did not see any other way than to go to the keepers. She left to conquer the capital. Well, she is not the first, not the last.

Talent can be profitable to sell.

"It's so scary when someone leaves, and you stay."

The past goes away irrevocably. I want to return it, remember all that was so expensive once.

Evgeny Grishkovets puts on a sailor's cap and remembers his three years of military service in the Pacific Fleet.

The story will go both about the school where he studied, and about the long journey by train to the destination, and about how scared he was of the unknown.

He talks simply and frankly, but with the smallest details. And the main thing is precisely these minor details, in which the air of time and the moments of his youth are enclosed.

In the service, he yearned for home, dreamed of returning from the Far East sooner. He went away as a boy, a recent schoolboy, but returned as an adult, a patriot of the Soviet country.

In the play there is a lot of humor, funny absurdities and funny tales. For example, about how he allegedly defeated the Japanese pilot. But there are serious stories about the heroism of our sailors, about the fate of his generation.
