About Theatrical play From Love to Hate and Back! in Washington

Have you ever wondered how quickly one feeling turns into another? The theater studio «Lucky Company» under the subtle yet firm guidance of teacher and director Alexander Notkin invites you on a captivating journey through the most hidden corners of the human soul. Our show is a kaleidoscope of world dramaturgy masterpieces. In one evening we will live through dozens of lives, moving from high tragedy to sincere comedy.Let's begin beautifully! Come early, by 16:30, for the theatrical warm-up. It's the perfect time to tune into the right wave and charge yourself with a good mood.

The journey through feelings program includes:

• William Shakespeare — «Richard III» When the thirst for power burns the heart, and love becomes a dangerous weapon.

• Friedrich Schiller — «Intrigue and Love» A high tragedy about how intrigues shatter the most sincere dreams.

• Anton Chekhov — «The Bear» An unexpected duel between a man and a woman, where from hatred to a kiss — just one shot.

• Grigory Gorin — «A Memorial Prayer» A profound story about wisdom, forgiveness, and love that is stronger than any hardship.

• Alexei Arbuzov — «An Old-Fashioned Comedy» A touching encounter between two lonely souls, proving that it is never too late for tenderness.

• Christopher Durang - «Beyond Therapy» A contemporary and ironic look at how difficult (and funny) it is to find love in a world of therapists and strange dates.

• Grishkovets - «Women's Monologue» Text by Evgeny Grishkovets. Performed by... a Woman! (Which is quite an event in itself). The truth about why women commit happy follies, and why life has no meaning without these follies.
