A Man and a Gentleman in Saint Petersburg, Comedy Theater named after N. P. Akimov

The play "Man and Gentleman" at the Comedy Theater. Akimov is a unique opportunity to plunge into the atmosphere of Neapolitan comedy created by the great Eduardo de Filippo. This Italian writer loved his hometown of Naples and always made at least one character Neapolitan. In the play "Man and Gentleman" we will meet a whole troupe of traveling comedians, led by the charming Don Gennaro.

The play was written by Eduardo de Filippo specifically for the “Humorous Theater de Filippo,” where he himself acted both as a director and as a performer of the main roles. So Don Gennaro is a direct reflection of Eduardo himself, who makes fun of himself.

Gentlemen comedians arrive in a respectable resort town with the hope of making money. They are carefree and practical, tight-fisted and kind-hearted. Their life is rehearsals, scandals, cooking spaghetti and unimaginable confusion in the most ordinary situations. Living with them under the same roof is not a test for the faint of heart. But thanks to the artists, the noble and ardent Don Alberto manages to defeat the husband of his beloved Biche.

Director Paolo Landi, an Italian talent, has found his own key to the dramaturgy of Eduardo de Filippo and immerses the viewer in the elements of real Neapolitan comedy. The performance features such talented actors as Vitaly Kuklin, Nikolai Kolosov, Denis Lukichev, Alisa Kondratyeva, Irina Korovina, Igor Yudin, Vsevolod Smirnov-Shebeshev, Dmitry Lebedev or Yakov Allenov, Natalya Andreeva or Galina Gudova, Arsenia Bychkova, Mary Vakha, Sergey Kuznetsov, Alexey Makretsky and Vladislav Nesin.
