Dear friends,

On November 4 the citizens of Kogalym will have a chance to watch Time of Troubles. 1609-1611 on a big screen. The screening is timed to coincide with the Unity Day and will be the next major step in introducing the Siberians to the entire repertoire of the theatre, since this large-scale performance is too big for the Kogalym's stage.

Before the screening, everyone is invited to join an excursion «Time of Troubles on the Maly Theatre's stage».

The screening will start at 12:00, the excursion at 11:15.

There are two different types of people: some of them are destined to be simple-minded and as harmless as sheep, others are bold and ferocious like wolves. Why so? The actors in Wolves and Sheep try to answer this philosophical question. A new theatre season in Kogalym started with one of the best Ostrovksy's plays. About three hundred people came to see this production. Some of them traveled hundreds of kilometers to see the intrigues of the landowner Murzavetskaya, performed by the People’s Artist of Russia, Lyudmila Polyakova. Coverage by Nikita Rogozin.
