Casting - is the choice among the applicants of the person, most appropriate to the idea of ​​the producers. Practiced, as you know, in the movies and show business, to select actors or models.

In Grekov's play "Casting" is a social "sieve" through which an ordinary person can be selected in a "top" society. To get to the top.

The question is - who are the producers looking for? Who is today's modern hero? What is the relationship between complaisant TV stars and counterculture? And what role is being prepared for the one who will pass this casting?

"Theater.doc, as usual, is asking a hard question: does it make sense to abandon our human identity in order to conform to the accepted" format "in society? Answer will have to the viewer - and already outside the theater "(TV Culture).

"Several years ago in" Teatr.doc "they played" The Great Zharochka "- the verbatim about the television workers, slowly but surely turning into a farce. The reality of "Casting" also strives to turn out not what it seems. ... On paper, plot moves and dialogues look naive, in the play - super. The reason for this - the actor's drive, courage and savory, but - if you dig deeper - a pretty thin game on the verge of everyday life-likeness and phantasmagoria with devilry "(Vadim Rutkovsky, Afisha)

"Five actors - a secretary, producer, director, cameraman and casting participant - show us how they actually choose the actor for the main role in the movie. And they do it very subtly, with humor. Watch it is primarily to the media workers and the stars - very sobering, you know. And after a juicy, mixed with a mat, monologue of the protagonist, you want to immediately retrain at least to janitors - do something really useful "(Felix Grozdanov, TV 7).
