The production went from the category of “genius” to merely “excellent.” But that is pretty wonderful too. […] I demand more! I demand them more often! I demand a new premiere every month! Because every Fomenko Workshop premiere is a genuine pleasure!
Nikita Balashov, Revizor.ru
Several stories that inspired director Mikhail Krylov are masterfully woven together into a single whole. What begins as an unusual lecture on how to write a story turns into a captivating theatrical adventure, with the Lecturer shuffling Shukshin’s characters like a magician with a deck of cards — until he himself becomes one of them.
Natalia Romanova, Zvezdy Megapolisa
The production is filled with wonderfully lively, warm-hearted humour, and every detail has been carefully thought through. […] Such a combination of humour, shock and truth is very rarely encountered on stage.
Nikita Balashov, Revizor.ru
It is clear that this Fomenko Workshop production is born of the mutual affection and understanding between two generations of actors, who take sheer delight in simply being on stage — a delight that spills over into the auditorium.
Ekaterina Dmitrievskaya, Ekran i Stsena
The new production has a lyrical, comic spirit. The sentimentality of its provincial lovers is tempered by the absurdity of their situations, while hilarious scenes of village gatherings and drunken philosophical conversations keep it from ever becoming overly melodramatic. […] After the performance, you immediately want to reread all of Shukshin — and fall in love.
Maria Pozina, Metro
