Going to the theater can be a bright, unforgettable event. It is important to choose the right setting. Before buying tickets, many people want to know reviews, plot and description of the performance. The production of “Lady Night”, whose actors have long been known and loved by the audience, will be discussed in the article.

About the play and its authors

The play Ladies Night was written in 1987 by New Zealanders Stefan Sinclair and Anthony McCarten in collaboration with Jacques Collard, a native of Equatorial Africa. Since then, it has been successfully performed in many theaters around the world, and in 2002 it was even awarded the highest theatrical award in France - the Molière Prize in the category "Best Comedy".

Since its writing, the play has been staged on different stages more than seven hundred times. The premiere of “Lady Night” in Russia, which the actors deserve special attention, took place in October 2002 at the Satyricon Theater.

Background

Even before the premiere, the Ladies Night performance promised to become a sensation. The head of this project, Elshan Mamedov, bet on the notorious director Viktor Shamirov - and he was right. The plot of the production of "Lady Knight", the composition of the audience.

Shamirov has just completed work on the play “The Innkeeper,” which critics unanimously attacked. However, it was a constant box office success. A scandal was expected from new production director. Moreover, at the end of the performance a male striptease was announced in advance. The performance was advertised brightly and promisingly in Moscow. Critics were ready to write devastating reviews in advance.

Plot

So what is the play about? Six employees of a closed metallurgical plant, six unemployed losers painfully experiencing a midlife crisis, drink away their last pennies in a bar. Some wives have already left, others are about to leave.

Among the joys of life are disgusting cheap beer and street fights. Behind them are years of hard work at a metallurgical plant, from where they were thrown out as unnecessary. Ahead is a miserable, hopeless existence. But everything changes when they see an advertisement in the newspaper about a male strip show. Seeing the price of admission, the indignant metallurgists first experience shock, and then get the idea to create their own strip show. From this moment their fascinating journey into the land of high body technologies begins.

In the process of training six amateurs high art striptease under the direction of enthusiastic choreographer Glenda, the hall will shake with laughter. To master this art, you will have to join the library, get sportswear and shoes, quit smoking and give up carbohydrates. Complex losers, in the course of squabbles and fights, sometimes getting together, sometimes scattering from each other like the plague, are trying to solve a complex creative problem. And uniting this team, which is least suitable for the erotic field, is oh so difficult.

What can unite the Turk Wesley and the chauvinist Barry, the exemplary father Greg and the mama's boy Norman, the red-bearded fat man Kevin and, to top it off, the oppositionist Graham, who resisted the idea of ​​participating in a striptease show for the longest time? But they will certainly succeed, and in the end the actors will definitely undress, though not completely, but only to tight, flesh-colored swimming trunks. But this will not stop the women in the audience from squealing with delight and applauding until they are exhausted. Perhaps a certain critic was right when he noted that for a good rest, our women need not so much complete male nudity as the opportunity to laugh carefreely from the heart. The play "Lady Night", whose actors give their all on stage, copes with this task 100%.

Actors. First cast

The performance owes much of its success to the remarkable acting. It was noted by both critics and viewers. The first cast of Lady Knight includes:

• Gosha Kutsenko.
• Vyacheslav Razbegaev.
• Marat Basharov.
• Dmitry Maryanov.

The role of Glenda was brilliantly performed by Lyudmila Artemyeva. At that time, they were all already famous and popular artists. The critic called them “candidates for stars,” but without the star cliche.

The director did a great job with the actors - he built the ensemble, thought through the characters and managed to stay within the bounds of good taste in the proposed theme. Striptease in the play is not an end in itself, but just a production detail that personifies hope for a better future, “the great dream of a little man.”

Modern production

The success of the performance on the Moscow stage ensured him long life. Nowadays, fifteen years after the premiere, the performance continues to delight the public. Of course, the actors of “Lady Knight” (photo below) changed over time. Currently the actors in the play are Gosha Kutsenko, Pyotr Krasilov, Vyacheslav Razbegaev, Mikhail Polizeimako, Evklid Kyurzidis, Pavel Sborshchikov, Valery Yaremenko, Konstantin Yushkevich and Georgy Martirosyan.

For for many years Working together, the actors became a close-knit team of talented like-minded people. Renewing itself from time to time, this line-up toured the whole country. I am still convinced that a performance with purely male energy remains in demand and necessary. Production at the intersection of comedy, drama and show allows actors to more fully reveal their creative potential, and audiences to go beyond the generally accepted theatrical boundaries.

Stylistics of the performance

Since the heroes of the play are hard-working losers, at first they clearly do not shine. The play "Lady Night" the cast plays in the appropriate style. Their vocabulary is dominated by rather rude expressions that denote a state of mind, parts of the body, and mutual “compliments” to each other.

Only after the whole act had passed did the manners of the former steelworkers, and now creative personalities, will become suspiciously pampered, and their speech will be as correct as that of a philology professor. The actors play out all these nuances very clearly, competently and impossibly funny.

Reviews

The premiere of the play was met with mixed reactions from theater critics. Considering scandalous fame past theatrical productions Viktor Shamirov, some reviewers advised him to “get out of the theater.” Profanity, drawn-out monologues, too straightforward and heavy-handed jokes, characters who look not like New Zealand steelworkers, but like Moscow party-goers, well-worn, hackneyed morality...

Among the advantages of the performance was the organic work creative team. The actors of Lady Night are undoubtedly talented. They know how to hold the attention of the audience and, while remaining within the bounds of good taste, be hilariously funny. The rudeness of the jokes, which some reviewers blamed on the actors, was seen by others as killer humor and the dignity of the performance.

All critics unanimously note that in final scene It is clearly not Apollos who appear before the audience, but this does not detract from the merits of the performance. “Lady Night” makes people laugh, providing the audience with a charge of positive emotions and a great mood.

The play "Ladies" Night" directed by Viktor Shamirov has been selling out for several years in a row. Despite the subtitle "For Women Only", men also want to buy tickets for the performance. Maybe they are afraid to let their wives go to one of the most scandalous performances in the capital, which promises not just a male striptease, but a striptease with the participation of stars theater stage?

The story takes place in a small town where a metallurgical plant has closed and six friends are left without income. Therefore, our heroes began to study advertisements in newspapers. An advertisement comes into view stating that each lady must pay $200 to enter a bar where a male striptease is shown. So the unemployed comrades had the idea of ​​​​creating their own collective striptease. In their eyes, this is a quick path to a wealthy, well-fed life. But first of all, they need to get rid of their complexes, fears and overcome not only their shame and complexes, but also remake themselves and turn into confident striptease dancers. And how they managed to do this - you can find out by attending the play Ladies Night at the Mossovet Theater.
