FIVE EVENINGS by A.Volodin

A play directed by Eduard Tolokonnikov,
FIVE EVENINGS by Aleksandr Volodin

Following a highly successful run in New York City, Five Evenings returns to the stage.

This moving dramedy weaves together the stories of two generations, exploring love, loss, and resilience in the face of unimaginable hardship. The play centers on Ilyin and Tamara, former lovers separated for 17 years. Upon reuniting, they must grapple with the passage of time, the deep scars of history, and the fragile hope of rebuilding what was once lost. Their story runs parallel to that of young Slava and Katya, whose youthful dreams and struggles poignantly mirror those of the older generation.

Volodin’s masterful play captures the nuances of human emotion while subtly embedding the weight of history, creating a timeless classic.

This production brings Volodin’s rich narrative and profound emotional depth to life for a contemporary audience, connecting the battles and hopes of its characters under historical societal pressures to the trials and tribulations of the present day.
