THE SWEDISH MATCH
Theatre of Nations, Moscow
Director Nikita Grinshpun
A cheerful, humorous and inventive musical performance with elements of a detective plot, based on Anton Chekhov’s stories “The Swedish Match” and “The Spouse”. During the entire show, the audience does not stop laughing. Actors, who sing and dance perfectly, play several roles each whilst being completely unrecognisable in different outfits, which makes the event even more intriguing. The action takes place to the musical accompaniment of a small orchestra, which is formed by the actors who also play various musical instruments.
