A comedy about the humorous stories of A. P. Chekhov "In a foreign land", "Psychopaths", "Fuss", "Malefactor", "Diplomat"
Chekhov's stories are surprisingly accurate sketches from the life of the Russian province. His heroes are ordinary people, painfully familiar types.
Chekhov, like no other writer, recognized the nature of the Russian mentality, its roots and uniqueness. It is no accident that all the great Russian artists loved and love to play Chekhov's humorous stories.
In the performance "Faces" a brilliant actor's duet of the People's Artist of Russia Alexander Kalyagin and People's Artist of Russia Vladimir Simonov (Theater named after Eugene Vakhtangov) is presented.

Review
"Whether it's tea to drink, or to hang yourself." Mysterious Russian soul ... Its secrets are not easy to discover. And is it worth it? What are they different, heroes of Chekhov's stories! A lover of landowners and a pompous official, a respectable father of the family and a sobbing widower. Sometimes the character characterizes only one gesture, one look. One has only to see how the valet cuts a piece of ham, portraying himself as an aristocrat! A facial expression of the grandmother in the church, who came to the temple to give notes on their loved ones when ordering the service "for health" and brings the priest to a frenzy! Phenomenally funny is a simpleton who stole a railroad nut that he needs as a sinker for the fishing rod, sincerely not realizing that it could lead to a train accident. The official, who can not find words to tell a friend about the death of his wife, is amazing. They are funny and ironic, envious and stupid, arrogant and simple-hearted. From love to hate, they have one step. Two remarkable artists, Alexander Kalyagin and Vladimir Simonov, will be many times transformed into different characters. And they get it just brilliant! A cheerful and mischievous play about Russian life.
