Synopsis of "8 Angry Women"

In a snowbound mansion, cut off from the world, the master of the house is found dead. Eight women fall under suspicion — each with her own secrets and motives. The play transforms a classic detective story into an ironic crime drama about family secrets, where the truth hides behind masks of propriety.

The play by French playwright Robert Thomas, "Huit femmes" ("Eight Women"), unfolds on Christmas Eve in the 1950s. A snowstorm isolates a country house from the outside world; communication is cut off, roads are impassable. In these circumstances, the head of the family — an influential industrialist — dies. Everyone is under suspicion: his wife, sister, maids, guests. Each has a motive, each has an alibi.

The story begins as a traditional detective mystery: who is guilty? But Alla Sigalova's direction transforms the classic intrigue into a multi-layered psychological duel. The heroines exchange barbs, reveal family secrets, and cast doubt on each other's reputations. The dramatic tension builds from scene to scene.

Key features of the MAT production:

• Ironic approach to detective tropes — the production plays with audience expectations.
• Psychological depth of characters — eight women are revealed through dialogues and conflicts.
• Intimate setting — everything happens in a single space, creating an atmosphere of a confined world.
• Social satire — the play exposes the double standards of bourgeois society.
• Unexpected twists — the mystery keeps audiences in suspense until the final scene.

Robert Thomas created more than just a crime drama — he wrote a play about female solidarity, contradictions, and hidden motives. At its core is a sharp conflict where every line can be a clue, and every gesture a confession. The MAT production retains this explosive mix of humor and suspense, making the detective story relevant for today's audience. The premiere of the production on the Moscow stage confirmed: this theatrical story doesn't lose its power year after year.

Venue and Schedule in Saint Petersburg

"8 Angry Women" will be performed in Saint Petersburg on April 20, 2026. The event is scheduled to take place at one of the city's main theatre venues. The exact venue is being confirmed by the organizer: traditionally, MAT's touring performances are held at the Alexandrinsky Theatre or the Tovstonogov Bolshoi Drama Theater (BDT). Final information about the stage is expected to be released a few months before the performance. After the official announcement, details regarding transportation and parking will be available to spectators on our website.

Why hasn't the venue been announced yet? Organizers are coordinating the stage's technical equipment and rehearsal schedule. Touring productions require adapting lighting and sound equipment to the play's specifications. Typically, final theatre information is released 60–90 days before the performance — approximately in January 2026.

Saint Petersburg historically provides MAT with the best stage complexes, seating 600 to 1200 spectators. Regardless of the chosen location, the auditorium will be equipped with a sound amplification system and professional lighting. This will ensure comfortable viewing from any seat in the orchestra and tiers.

Evening program for April 20:

• 6:15 PM — theatre doors open and seating begins.
• 6:50 PM — first bell, invitation to the hall.
• 6:55 PM — second bell, seating concludes.
• 7:00 PM — third bell and start of the performance.
• 8:45 PM — approximate end of the performance (production duration is about 105 minutes).

We recommend arriving early to comfortably take your seats and enjoy the atmosphere of the theatrical evening. Latecomers may only be seated during technical intermissions.

After the official venue announcement, our website will feature public transport routes and coordinates for navigators. We recommend subscribing to notification alerts when purchasing tickets — the system will automatically send you updated information about the location and parking zones near the theatre.

Important detail: some historical theatre buildings in the city center do not have their own parking lots. Plan your route to include a 5–10 minute walk from the nearest parking area or metro station.
