Nadezhda Teffi, and Arkady Averchenko—two magical names—are always funny, interesting, and relevant.
We are happy to speak with you in the language of these kings of satire and humor. And although they created at the dawn of the 20th century, the themes and situations of their stories are still alive and contemporary.

Reviews from the audience are much more vivid than the announcement of the performance:

“… I will not retell the content, I will only say that the stories of Arkady Averchenko, a Russian satirical writer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, were presented by our actors as if they lived 100 years ago and with incredible reality they presented the atmosphere of that time, and the characters were so recognizable and understandable, as if they were our contemporaries…” “

… the discovery of “THE SECRET” – the secret of the creative light pen of the outstanding authors of the satirical genre Averchenko and Teffi. I encountered the work of these authors for the first time and immediately after the performance, as they say, while the trail was hot, I found and read the original…”

“….. The trip to the theater turned out to be simply magnificent…
I was here the other day at the premiere…. they gave Averchenko… and not only… an evening called The Secret. And that very Secret came true, as usually happens with with all the Secrets…over time, the Secrets turn into Reality))
well, so as not to weave the lace of words for too long… These wonderful people – ACTORS – Inna Yesilevskaya, Vadim Kroll, Gennady Vysotsky, Badimir Elena Uspenskaya and the wonderful Rustem Galich gave real emotions, melted a long-frozen soul and carried away into their theatrical fantasies.…”

After watching this performance, I would like to wish lovers of theatrical art to definitely visit this performance!
