About

The charming landowner Ranevskaya returns from Paris to her family estate, which is put up for auction due to debts.

The enterprising merchant Lopakhin offers to cut down the wonderful cherry orchard to rent out plots for summer cottages. But no one wants to listen to him. Instead of solving long-standing problems, Ranevskaya throws a small festive evening, spending her last money...

Special project

Pushkin Theatre in cinemas

The Moscow Drama Theatre named after A.S. Pushkin is a boulevard theatre in the truest sense of the word – because it occupies a historic building on Tverskoy Boulevard. And it is an art theatre – in terms of the quality and significance of its performances. They do not shy away from light genres and are not afraid of serious topics; art is not the opposite of a show; every spectacle is high class. Our selection includes star performances that quickly became legends; current classics staged by the theatre’s artistic director Evgeny Pisarev and invited directors – from Vladimir Mirzoev to Yuri Butusov. →
