SOVREMENNIK THEATRE SEASON
Piccadilly Theatre
​
Moscow's critically acclaimed and internationally renowned Sovremennik Theatre returned to the West End in May 2017 with a triple bill of its most celebrated productions, Three Comrades, Two for the Seesaw and Three Sisters. Directed by Galina Volchek, (Artistic Director and founding member of the Sovremennik Theatre) regarded as one of Russia's greatest theatre practitioners, all three shows were performed in Russian with English surtitles.
The Sovremennik are one of Russia's most respected theatres, recognised around the world for their tradition of staging intense psychological dramas, and their bold productions of contemporary plays, Russian classics and international work. The London season featured a cast and crew of over 100 people including the acclaimed Russian film, theatre and television actress and humanitarian Chulpan Khamatova.
​

The Season ran for two weeks with over 13,000 people watching the performances.
