"Story of a Horse" - on the BDT to Broadway

That today we know that Mark Rozovskii - a member of the Union of Writers, author of six books, satirical articles, scripts and plays, once a regular contributor to the section of satire and humor "Hoover" magazine "Youth" and the club "12 chairs", "Literary Gazette", a famous film director , which put not only the performances of their offspring Nikitsky Gate, but also, for example, diploma number graduate circus school Gennady Khazanov, as well as the first national musical "Orpheus and Eurydice" and rooms Kartcev and Ilchenko, Seeds Farad and Alexander Filippenko first Russian author and composer of the Broadway musical. And then, after the collapse "Our House" future master left without means of subsistence, and the only thing he could trust - so it is in the case. And it happened.

• If I went to the elevator in Kislovodsk hotel for a few seconds earlier or later, - said (as cut) Krein - perhaps my life turned to be quite different, but I came up just at the moment that will determine my destiny . And I met in the elevator Georgy Tovstonogov. As we walked up, talking, and soon I was rehearsing in the BDT first "Poor Liza," and then the "Story of a Horse", the idea that mature at me still in the "Our Home". The fate of a great play. Sorry, but I was the first Soviet playwright and, I may say, a composer whose musical "The Story of a Horse" was for years on Broadway and then in the National Theatre in London in Statsteatre Stockholm, the Royal Danish Theatre in Copenhagen, Poland, Finland, Spain, Israel and even Japan. This performance and the progress we have in the theater "Nikitsky Gate" - the other day was his idea two hundred.

The theater "Nikitsky Gate" was born out of the studio, which Mark Rozovskii created at the House of Culture of health workers, inviting all comers. It's two hundred people, including fifty-away, work has begun on the first play - fantasy "Doctor Chekhov" the stories of the writer, kotorgo premiere took place March 27, 1983. And now, literally just about, Krein will put the same "Doctor Chekhov" in Israel, and this news could not have with you is good.

• I was invited to work at the "Beit Zvi" - says Rozovskii - to teach and students to do the play "Doctor Chekhov". I was warned that the Hebrew Chekhov bad happens - a different mentality, a different rate of speech. But I still hope that we can do it. On the one hand, Chekhov is little known in Israel as the author was "Pestryyh stories", not all of them have been translated into Hebrew, we are now doing special orders. On the other hand, each of these stories - a small tragicomedy with the beautifully written and beautifully written out syuzheomt characters, and the young actor - it's a great school.

Today, the theater playbill thirty names - and the classics (Pushkin, Shakespeare, Chekhov, Dostoevsky), and a little play by contemporary authors, but the playwright Rozovskii much easier to find a language with director Rozovskiy what, nesmonenno, pleased the audience and not always Critic

• While working on the show, I feel like a God-man: I create a world in which the authenticity of the audience must believe - said Krein.

In the near future, Mark Rozovskii starts to put a performance in Moscow Art Theater on the play of the Hungarian playwright Stephen "Cat and Mouse". Judging by the fact that his "Amadeus" in the theater for many years is a great success, soon in the repertoire MHATpoyavitsya another beloved "survivor."

David Yanovich Cherkasky, the creator of such wonderful cartoon as "The Adventures of Captain Vrungel", "Doctor Oh How It Hurts", "Treasure Island", "Crazy Pasta" and many others, said about Rozovskii: "A man of genius, in my opinion, the only one alive. That it boils all! He is not interested in such a small thing as life. In this case there is always the wife who looks after him. In America he had a son ... "

• My son has an unusual fate. He was born in New York, suddenly, during our tour. He was born six months and weighed 608 grams. America saved him, he was four months under a glass cover, on an artificial diet. And in my pocket, when he was born, it was $ 20 and had no insurance. What we have experienced with my wife, Tanya, is beyond description. Nevertheless, unexpected for us, he became an American citizen. Moreover, when at home, in Moscow, I tried to draw him to the registrar, I was denied. Because at birth a person is given a single document. In addition to the American birth certificate, we have nothing. And most of all, when old enough, he will learn anything here at the American school with the English language or in America.
