The Play "Seryozha" at the Moscow Art Theatre: A New Reading of Tolstoy's Classics

The play "Seryozha" at the A.P. Chekhov Moscow Art Theatre is an original interpretation of Leo Tolstoy's classic novel "Anna Karenina". This production surprisingly combines elements of Tolstoy's and Vasily Grossman's works, complementing them with Lev Rubinstein's text "Questions".

The creators of the play sought to convey the atmosphere and emotions comparable to Bunin's "Sunstroke" - fast, tender and scary. However, "Seryozha" is not just an adaptation of the famous novel. The focus is on Seryozha, the son of Anna Arkadyevna Karenina, who becomes a key figure in this chaotic world. The play is devoid of many recognizable scenes from the original work: there is no Levin, no Kitty, no famous horse races. Instead, the audience is immersed in a new take on a familiar story, with an emphasis on the personal experiences and inner world of the characters.

The premiere of the play took place on the stage of the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater, one of the most prestigious theaters in Moscow, known for its innovative productions and profound interpretations of classical works. In 2020, the play was awarded two Golden Mask awards, which emphasizes its artistic value and critical acclaim.
