Anniversary celebrated in Vladimir drama - performance “No. 13” turned 10

VLADIMIR. In the evening, December 13, Vladimir spectators will come to the hall of the Vladimir Drama Theater not for the next premiere, but for the anniversary. They will celebrate the tenth anniversary of the play “No. 13”, staged on the play of the English playwright Ray Cooney.

The premiere of the eccentric comedy took place in 2003, the play was directed by Alexei Burkov (at that time the main director of the theater), and the stage design and costumes of the characters were developed by the artist Stanislav Bakhvalov. The play is successfully performed in many theaters in the world, in the year it began to be staged, she received a significant award for the theater world - the Laurence Olivier Prize, and was named the best comedy of the year.

According to its plot, the performance refers to the "sitcom". Indeed, the situation in which her heroes fell is not simple. Having decided to relax in the company of his mistress, the assistant to the prime minister rents a hotel room. Only now the number is indicated by the number 13, therefore, there is no need to wait for trouble for a long time - they immediately find a lifeless male body outside his door.

The most engaged actors are involved in the performance - Mikhail Asafov, Lyubov Gordeeva, Andrey Shcherbinin, Galina Fathutdinova, Alexey Kulikov. The cast has changed over the years, but Lyubov Gordeeva (Gladys) and Alexei Kulikov (Ronnie) have been playing since the premiere performance to today’s anniversary.

For Vladimir, a ten-year demand for the performance is a long time. And this means that only a decent production can enjoy success with the audience for so many years, each show gathers a full audience hall. For the anniversary performance, on which the troupe of the theater decided to arrange a holiday with surprises for the audience, last night there were practically no tickets at the box office. The most persistent theatergoers were offered the last row on the balcony.
