About event
The Maly Theater of Kogalym invites spectators to a unique theatrical event - the play “It shines, but does not warm.” This special event is dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding Russian playwright Alexander Nikolaevich Ostrovsky.
The play “It shines, but does not warm” was written by Ostrovsky in collaboration with N. Ya. Solovyov and was first staged on the stage of the Maly Theater in 1880. Then it was rarely resumed, making this production especially valuable and rare for audiences.
The play tells about a cross-section of society of that time, where the old world comes into contact with the new. The characters in the play, representatives of different social classes, all yearn for love. The main character, Reneva, who came from abroad, destroys the existing way of life. It “illuminated” those who were nearby, but did not “warm” anyone.
The production director of the play, Vladimir Beilis, People's Artist of Russia and laureate of the Russian Government Prize, embodied his vision of Ostrovsky's work in the production. He created the atmosphere of time and place, conveyed the complexity of the characters’ relationships and their desire for love.
