Story

Scenes from the life of bankers and their wives
Based on Chekhov's stories "Paris" and "Jubilee"

Mark Rozovsky about the play:

"Pari" is a story-parable. This is an unusual Chekhov. So unusual that many will say: it's not Chekhov. However, they will be mistaken, for the author's world of Anton Pavlovich is indeed immense. A wry look through a pince-nez as if teases us: what you expect from me, you will not get, but you will receive what you do not expect.

The story "Pari" is an unexpected story by Chekhov. But why, why unexpected? After all, after naming your famous stream of masterpieces - "Colored Stories", the author, first of all insists on PESTROTE, and therefore, prepares our perception for the most stunning range. That's the whole thing, gentlemen, that the story "Pari" is the same Chekhov, it's the same hand of the Master, the same lapidary style, which is in a relationship with talent.

And, strange as it may seem, THAT Chekhov did not seem to Tom Chekhov, whom we all know and love, we will truly have to discover in him something more and more, for which we will love him even more. It was these feelings that I experienced when I decided on the terrible act - to finish off Chekhov a little while dragging his prose onto the stage. Yes, yes, do not be scared, just add it. Oh, forgive me, Anton Pavlovich, excuse me ... Perhaps it will only be justified by the fact that in the play "Pari" (according to the story "Pari") all your text is verbatim, scrupulously preserved. But for the rest of my conjectures to your brilliant prose, I already bear responsibility.
And now the poor spectator let him try to guess where Chekhov is, and where your humble servant, let him try ...

The second part of our performance is the famous "Jubilee. A joke in one act "- this is how Anton Pavlovich defined the genre of this fantastic comedy of characters, where reality quickly turns into an absurdity, and Chekhov's humor is one of the heights of unsurpassed Chekhovian mastery.

It seems to me that the "Jubilee" is a masterpiece of Chekhov's drama, which is why it can be staged only with brilliant actors, for whom a sense of filigree form and simultaneous existence in grotesque, farce and psychologism is not a problem, and rapture by the game is the norm that brings an exceptional to the viewer enjoyment.

We are waiting for you at the premiere of the play "Jokes of Chekhov. From the life of bankers and their wives! "

Review

Do you want to make God laugh? Tell him about your plans.

Everything seemed so reasonable.

A rich man, a respected chairman of the bank's management was going to celebrate the anniversary of this organization. But unexpectedly his wife came ...

Why does not she let him do business? To get rid of her endless stories about relatives and girlfriends he never succeeds.

How would you put it out of the bank?

And some old woman is bothering him, who came to ask him for her husband's pension. But he did not work in this bank!

The accountant writes the annual report. The confusion with women prevents him from concentrating.

Will they find any way out of this situation?

The second story of the bet that the millionaire concluded with a young lawyer. The rich man promised him two million rubles if he would stay in voluntary imprisonment for fifteen years.

Is this incredible story going to end without the intervention of a woman?

"Do not say that youth has ruined, that jealousy has been tormented by mine."
