“Behind the noisy and magnificent premieres and luxurious banquets in their honor, there must be something more than what theater was originally as an art form,” writes the author of this book, Ilya Dolgikh, who works in the workshop of one of the Moscow theaters. In his “Notes...” he shows the real face of the theater world, hidden behind a heavy velvet curtain of luxury. You will not find here the “magic” of the theater that begins to flow from the stage when the lights go out in the hall. Rather, it is a look at our life today, at relationships within a large team, a look at time, at how we all live and work. A journey through the “theater dungeons” will not only reveal many secrets of the actor’s life, but will also become a real reflection of everyday life.< /p>
