This kind of story probably has not been staged in a Russian theatre until now. What is it: a detective story? A comedy? A melodrama? A ballet after all? This production of the play by Sir Peter Shaffer has everything. Besides the genre diversity it also has such important qualities for theatre as poetry and beauty.

The premiere performance took place on 3 December 2004.

Running time: 2 hours 30 minutes
