“ For the first time, we visited the theater of the Central Department of the Arts, on the recommendation of a friend chose the play “Old House”. The performance left a complex impression. On the one hand, the brilliant Elena Yakovleva, the wonderful game of all the actors without exception, live music that accompanies the entire performance, an interesting solution to the stage space, the simultaneous presence of heroes on the stage at different ages. From what was not pleasant: the performance was too delayed, often the music did not allow to hear the speech of the actors at the other end of the scene. For some reason, they did not feel shrill nostalgia for a bygone youth, for old Moscow. I thought about the movie "Pokrovskie Gate". A play by L. Zorin "The Pokrovskie Gates" on the same topic as the "Old House", but the impression is different, there is no sense of hopelessness from the clumsy fates of the residents of the communal "Old House"

“ Very strong non-classical performance, where there is no logic at all, but it is very fascinating. I advise those who want to "change their clothes" to recharge

“ I liked the performance. I and my daughter (10 years old) were delighted. About unconditional love, about loneliness, about true friendship and how insignificant words for adults can hurt the soul of children. In short, the play is about everything that may worry teenagers. The feed is awesome. The children sat holding their breath. The optimal age for viewing 10+

“ A beautiful, very lyrical musical performance. Bravo to the director!

“ The duration of this event is not an hour as stated, we left at the interval after the start has already passed 1:40, so that in total it takes about 3 hours. I absolutely did not like Mandelstam's verses trying to sing, with almost one motive. And it's even hard to call a song, continuous howls, at times words were not even intelligible. In my subjective opinion this is a disgusting sight and it is not worth the time spent on it.
