In the city of Moscow, on the stage of the famous State Academic Theater named after Mossovet, there will be a screening of the play “It’s not all Maslenitsa for the cat” based on the play of the same name by Alexander Nikolaevich Ostrovsky. Stage director: Viktor Shamirov.
Despite the fact that A.N. himself Ostrovsky called the play “It’s not all Maslenitsa for the cat” just “scenes from Moscow life”; this bright and original comedy with colorful merchant life has not left the stage for more than 150 years and is extremely popular among modern viewers, remaining relevant today.
Ostrovsky wrote this play in 1871, in just one month. The first publication occurred in the journal “Otechestvennye Zapiski” of the same year and, according to the same author, it was “more of a sketch than a play”, in which there were no stage effects and it was written more “for experts” than for the general public.
