Marriage
Nikolai Gogol
This work of Nikolai Gogol is perhaps the merriest one. In Vladimir Tumanov’s version spectators will enjoy this very funny performance about love with brilliant humor and teasing jokes.
Production

Gogol's turmoil is ruling on the main stage of the Theatre. This is a staging of the ironic and sharp play “Marriage” by Nikolai Gogol.

It is a fun performance about love with brilliant humor and teasing jokes. All the characters of the Gogol’s play are waiting for a change in their destiny and are dreaming about personal happiness each in his own way.
The plot involves a certain mysticism, the gloom of life on the shaky edge between reality and dreams. This is a true Gogol, in whose works the comic is inseparable from the tragic and whose power, according to Vladimir Nabokov, is ridicule and absurdity.
