Classical comedy on the stage of Alexandrinsky theatre in the early 1900s
Abstract
Author of the article analyses first steps made by Alexandrinsky theatre, Russian citadel of the art of acting, towards XX century theatrical model which was established as a stage directing theatre. Unlike early experiences of Moscow Art Theatre, which were considered as a new theatre experiences based on a new drama, Alexandrinsky undertook its artistic research upon a classical repertoire. Trough turbulent tries to find its new identity, this theatre applied for one of its beginnings — Russian classical comedy of the 18th century. On the material of two productions of early 1900s — “Woe from Wit”, directed by Petr Gnedich, Head of Russian troupe, and “The Infant” directed by Jury Ozarovsky, author tries to trace the structure and dynamics of this historical process.
