"My Dear Matilda" - American author and Italian director

ST. PETERSBURG. On the first day of May holidays on the stage of the Drama Theater on Vasilyevsky, the theater group presents the premiere performance of “My Dear Matilda” directed by Italian director John Pepper. The play, on which the play is staged, was written by the famous American playwright Israel Horowitz.

The main action of the play takes place in Paris, where the main character Matthias arrives from America, who received an inheritance from his father in the form of a luxurious Parisian apartment. However, a typical loser, 49-year-old Matthias, is waiting for a surprise here - he inherited the inheritance with the tenants. Two single women living in the apartment help Matthias to figure out many family secrets.

Events that took place in the childhood of Matthias left an imprint on his whole future life. The suicide of the mother, whom he witnessed. A father whose dislike he always felt. These dramas of early childhood caused the hero to disbelieve in the possibility of his own happiness.

Director John Pepper says he saw in this play the story of a woman who has no maternal instinct. She is charming to those with the exception of her own child. If the father is not capable of male actions, then this further exacerbates the problem.

In such a family, the child grows lonely, and in subsequent life lives in isolation from the world around him. This play is also about the fact that you can’t lose hope, because happiness comes to the hero when he no longer hoped for him.

The scenography and musical design of the performance is such that the audience is completely immersed in the atmosphere of Paris - familiar French music sounds, views of the capital of France from the best photo artists arise on the scenery between the scenes
