Synopsis: | John Freedman, the Moscow Times Theater Critic calls Maksym Kurochkin "the most imaginative playwright in Moscow today." Mr. Kurochkin's plays have been staged throughout Russia and around the world. He is the recipient of numerous prestigious prizes, including "The Boldest Experiment of the Year" award from the Moskovsky Komsomolets daily for his play Kitchen and the "Russian Anti-Booker" award for experimenting with new avenues in drama. His play Kitchen, a smash-hit in Moscow, has been credited with helping to steer Russian theater away from revivals, back toward contemporary work. Mr. Kurochkin also writes for Russian film and television, as well as Maxim, a popular Russian-language cultural journal. He resides in Kiev. In Fighter Class 'Medea', a world war has erupted between men and women. As the women raze New York City, an anti-aircraft battery, composed of an international team of soldiers, fights to defend itself and escape the threat of domestic slavery. The piece is ideally suited for one male and three female players - not the other way around, as it may first appear. . . | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Maksym Kurochkin | |||||
Synopsis: | This play is a Russian fantasia for today - a theatrical rumination on the Cyrano de Bergerac story enhanced by Kurochkin's signature flights of imagination and brilliant dialogue. The Cyrano figure in this play is older than the one in popular film adaptations, and Kurochkin shifts the focus away from the typical swashbuckling and romantic poetry toward Cyrano's lesser-known scientific inclinations. The settings oscillate between 17th-century France, where the visionary poet-scientist struggles to be understood, and 21st-century Russia, where a frustrated newspaper columnist struggles to hold together a life coming apart at the seams. Other alluring figures inhabit both locales; the play, however, illuminates not so much the relationships between its characters as the spaces that keep them apart. Ultimately, it asks profound questions about artistic integrity, the purpose of work, and the nature of reality itself. A sprawling yet galvanizing theatrical romp with a big heart at its core, Mooncrazed takes its audiences on an unforgettable journey and leaves them musing about the universe they thought they knew. | |||||

Synopsis: | This giddy romp of a play imagines a future for the captain of the one vessel that managed to rescue survivors from The Titanic disaster. Invested with a special right - eternal life - he has taken to exploring the world by sea, in search of something worth dying for. Now, trying to save a great city from sliding into decay, he has assembled a crew of misfits to help him fulfill his mission. When they are suddenly captured by the royal naval, they must put their heads together to devise a plan that can save them all - and give the Captain what he has been seeking. The wildly imaginative Maksym Kurochkin throws us into a tumultuous day at sea, with the Captain and his crew of five souls passionately clinging to life - along with a samurai, who has turned up for no apparent reason. In the end, both the Captain and the samurai find their purpose, the crew turns into a family, yet the mystery remains: who will inherit the right of the Captain of the R.M.S. Carpathia? Who wants to have eternal life - and what is the price that must be paid for it? | |||||

Synopsis: | In Vodka, Fucking, and Television, the three title figures vie for position in the life of a thirtysomething playwright, who is undergoing a very "Russian" artistic crisis. Determined to get his muse back, the playwright (also known as The Hero) has vowed to jettison one of these debilitating vices from his life. It is up to each of them to convince the Hero that Vodka - or Fucking, or Television - is not the one who should go. As conflicting accusations are hurled around the room, tempers flare, and the Hero is forced both to confront his past and to recognize his true self. Can he figure out what he needs to revivify his creative genius in time to save his waning career? Astute in its social observations, Vodka, Fucking, and Television is a gritty domestic comedy that leaps from rapid-fire exchanges of blistering insults to inspired arias lionizing the best things left in contemporary Russia. Along the way, it stirs up questions about what all of us, Russians and Americans alike, are doing with our lives - and what we could do without. | |||||
