Meyerhold: Drama of Red Karabas. Kushnirov M.

The name of Vsevolod Emilievich Meyerhold is famous in the history of the Russian theater. He went from a provincial young man who took the first steps on the stage to the famous director, embodied in his work of the idea of ​​the Theater October. Meyerhold’s inconvenience for the authorities, the inability to compromise became the reason for the closure of his theater, and then his death in the basements of the Lubyanka. A proud, capricious, conceited genius, a virtuoso director -inventor, a sparkling inventor, an excellent actor, arrogant, hot -tempered, autocratic, sometimes a cynical dictator and an eternal outrage - this is how Vsevolod Meyerhold appears in the new book of culturologist Mark Kushnirov.
