“You are holding a book dedicated to the 125th anniversary of the Moscow Art Theater. It contains a story about 125 performances that were going on or today on the stage of the Moscow Art Theater. Of course, there were much more performances that were published in this theater for 125 years of its existence - we chose iconic from them, as well as those that determine the current face of the Moscow Art Theater. The face of the theater that we are building now.

For me now, probably, the main thing in the Moscow Art Theater is a search for my topic. This is a non -construction matter, such things are not born artificially. And while we are just beckoning our plot, it is very important that the theater remains alive. This book is about a living theater. ” Artistic Director of the Moscow Art Theater named after A.P. Chekhova Konstantin Khabensky
