About the production
Ivan Ivanovich vs Ivan Nikiforovich. Two former friends made a drama out of nothing. Who is right? Who is to blame? Time to ask the one who brought them together.
Gogol is not just the author — he is the chief arbitrator in this tragicomic battle. He is on stage. He sees everything.
And he knows why this story keeps repeating itself again and again.

Reviews
“The artists harmoniously interweave monologues, dialogues and lines with musical performances. That is why even Gogol is easy and enjoyable to watch and to listen to.”
“The description says this production is aimed at young people. But that's not true. We're not twenty anymore, yet we were completely delighted. The performance gripped us from the very first minutes.”

Reviews from the venue
Written by audience members in the feed of the venue where the show ran. Quoted verbatim.
The description says the piece is aimed at young people. That is not so. We are well past twenty and we were delighted. It gripped us from the first minutes. The actors are true masters of their craft. If we get the chance we will certainly come again. Bravo!
