about the production
“Marysha must be in contradiction with the irregular repertory related to every possible "non- theatrical" texts, to both literary and non-literary subjects, the facts and the reality, but not to the regular theatre plays the part of which Marysha undoubtedly is. Nevertheless, the programme of irregularity, which was accepted by the Theatre Goose on the String at the very beginning of its existence, has to admit necessarily the irregularity: thus, the exceptions and the unorthodox approach towards oneself. And it has to be so especially now in the middle of the third decade of its – successful and fruitful existence! (...) Marysha, the vital work, became the “classic” one very soon somehow, it became inert from the academic point of view. It more or less provoked to a reproduction of the firmly fixed model than to a new angle of re-reading, a new re-comprehension and to a new rendition. So thus, our main script editing requirement was an attempt to re-read Marysha newly and to render it in an unusual and uncommon way jointly with the spectators in'1995. So thus, enjoy the performance and make up the opinion of your own. Will you?”
