Ranevskaya. The Lonely Mocker in New York
Olga Khokhlova as Faina Ranevskaya
Director Lev Shimelov
Starring: Olga Khokhlova and other famous theater and film actors
The unique, not invented by the authors, but the genuine humor of Faina Ranevskaya, her most vivid images, her funniest anecdotes, her most apt aphorisms, the most tragicomic moments of her fate. The action takes place in the last year of the life of the great actress and person.
The action takes place in her Moscow apartment. Extraordinary, talented and lonely... Today she is called the soul of a bygone era. In "The Lonely Mocker" by director Lev Shimelov, the viewer sees the queen of episodic roles in her Moscow apartment. Visitors come to visit her, and in the dialogue maintained with them, the viewer hears witty verbal sparring. The plot of the play "The Lonely Mocker" is fragments taken from Ranevskaya's life. The play intertwines events that took place in the last year of the life of a wonderful actress and person, with her unique jokes, which were not invented by the authors of the dramatic comedy, but taken from books and memoirs about Faina Georgievna. That is why there is every reason to call her a co-author of this play. The place of events taking place in the play is Ranevskaya's Moscow apartment, where the authors of the play invite spectators. Faina Ranevskaya is different throughout the play. The viewer sees her vulnerable, with tears in her eyes, and a moment later - a proud and beautiful person in her loneliness.
The performance lasts 2 hours 20 minutes with an intermission.
