The Major Plays of Nikolai Erdman (Russian Theatre… por Nikolai Erdman

I fear that my experience of this play has been sullied by having to act in it under a poor directorial team. That said, it is a play with a fascinating history, and one that I think Erdman was extremely brave to write it in the first place given the Stalinist era that he was creating it in. It is an black comedy, with moments of pure ludicrocity which, when executed well should have the audience laughing regularly. I had the joy of playing Serafima, who had some hilarious scenes.
I would highly recommend reading this play to anyone with an interest on Stalinist Russia, particularly the cultural response to it.… (mais)

I must admit, the play did not sit well with me. It made me uncomfortable, much in the same way "Meet the Fockers" or other comedies that operate under the 'embarrassment' genre. After a while, it simply felt like too much - it's a very long play, with a myriad of characters and it simply becomes too much. There's very little room for sympathy, or any sort of human recognition. I found it difficult to identify with or connect with, which made it a chore to plod through.
