Prince Leo Nikolayevich Myshkin returns from Switzerland to St. Petersburg and immediately finds himself in the center of an imminent tragic scandal. All whom he meets are fatally connected with Nastasya Filippovna - a fatal woman with a broken fate ...
The theater staged the first part of the great novel by FM Dostoevsky, staged carefully and in detail, practically without any notes. But if FM Dostoyevsky's first day in St. Petersburg is only a tie of future tragic events, Grigory Kozlov's play is a complete story in which all the story lines are put together and brought to a logical - tragic - end. The performance is characterized by a subtle psychologism, a detailed storyline, and vivid actor's works.
Particularly interesting in the treatment of the theater is Myshkin - a man devoid of idealization, but at the same time carrying inside light, which is felt physically. This light illuminates everyone with whom the prince collides, revealing in each completely unexpected qualities. Prince Myshkin is played by three performers. Each of the artists brings to the role something of their own, inherent in his acting and human individuality, without deviating from the main line of the performance.
In 2010, all three performers of the role of Myshkin were awarded the Independent Actor Prize named after. VI Strzhelchik.

Review
"Yes, with such beauty - the whole world can be turned around! What a power! "
New acquaintances of Prince Myshkin, whom he will see on the first day of his arrival in St. Petersburg, will tell him about the mysterious woman, Nastasya Filippovna.
How will this proud beauty treat a strange eccentric?
Myshkin will meet first with Rogozhin and Lebedev, then with the family of General Yepanchin, then proceed to General Ivolgin's apartment. And then fate will bring him to the name-day of the one in which it is impossible not to fall in love.
It was there that everyone would learn what great wealth Prince Myshkin had inherited.
Phantasmagoria? Rather, a tragicomedy about the life and gentle feelings of the prince, a big child, a very kind and naive person.
A brilliant game of young, but highly professional actors.
"You have no tenderness: one truth, therefore, is unfair."
