“ 10/30/2016 with a 14-year-old son went to the play "The Dog in the Manger", staged by the action theater "VIVAT". I liked to say nothing. We are delighted !!! The action takes place on a small stage, with intermission, but it looks easy. The play is staged amusingly and playfully. The cast is not numerous, but each played its role incomparably. Also I liked the music, the design of the stage, the costumes, and of course the atmosphere. We spent time with pleasure. Many thanks to the organizers of the performance and the actors who took part in it.

“ I love this work and went to the play with caution that I will compare the actors' performance with the film. I was in vain afraid - after 10 minutes about the film you forget and you watch the play, as if you did not know anything about this story before. All the great fellows play remarkably well, some actors play two roles, but they transform so much that not everyone understands it - my relatives, with whom I went to the play, did not understand. The playful presentation of the plot and surprisingly accurately selected note of humor (without replaying) create a very warm atmosphere, and given the fact that the hall is small, it seems that you are watching a performance in the circle of close people. Well, of course, the star of the production is simply stunning fencing scenes. I've never seen anything like "live" (only in movies) and honestly I can say that the heart stops like a child. It's so spectacular! I highly recommend to see it! Many thanks to the young actors and organizers!

“ Visited today with her daughter (12 years) at this wonderful play. First, the magic of the place is the journalist's house, a cozy old mansion in the heart of Moscow, on the Arbatskaya metro station. In one of his chamber halls there was a performance. A small room created the effect of personal participation, the fact that the actors are playing for you personally. Secondly and in the main - a great game of actors. They are young and talented. The performance is full of humor, vivid emotions, and - and it's really very interesting - scenes of real fencing! Surprising in its beauty and symbolism, the scene of a duel between Diana and Teodoro is a struggle between a man and a woman, with reason and feelings, with pride and love ... The performance is dynamic, fun, exciting, romantic! Time flew by unnoticed. We really enjoyed! Many thanks to the troupe of the theater "Vivat"!
