Yesterday in the estate of K. S. Stanislavsky in the movie took place
the opening of the festival “the Stanislavsky Season. Summer festival of provincial theaters”.
On the opening day there was presented “the Cherry quest” — a sketch of the play
“The cherry orchard” staged by the artistic Director of the Moscow
The provincial theatre of Sergei Bezrukov.

“When I saw this house, the house of the brother of Stanislavsky, in
which was visited Anton Chekhov, I just fell in love with this place — shared
Bezrukov. — Everything came together: the very porch where they await the arrival of Ranevskaya, and that first scene where Lopakhin — Anton Khabarov sitting on the porch with Dunyasha, a stage set is not necessary, everything is alive! And Lopakhin
goes in a real cherry garden, runs far into the garden and shouts Ranevskaya and
all those present about the project, which he invented, to cut down and take out
this garden on the river. And shows towards the river, and then recovering, “No, Klyazma
there” — and indeed, the Klyazma there. Her Anton Pavlovich every day
fished. When we rehearsed in the house, you have no idea what it is
the sensation for the actors! The thrill that they are there, go to the cherry garden”.

Also the actor said that he had picked up on the role of actors not only
talented, but also very suitable for facial features. “Ranevskaya in our performance
will be significantly younger than all the Actresses to sing the role before, says
Sergey. The Chekhov Lyubov Andreyevna only 35 years old! Many think
I agree that in 35 years are still possible and all-consuming love, passion…”
