Description

An aspiring writer, Maksudov, having survived a creative crisis and a suicide attempt, writes a novel that is unexpectedly accepted for publication—only for him to decide to rewrite it as a play. From that moment on, he plunges into the backstage world of the famous Moscow Art Theatre, where brilliant yet temperamental directors rule, intriguing actors scheme, endless rehearsals go on, and bureaucratic absurdity reigns. In front of the reader unfolds a tragicomical picture of how a manuscript is transformed into a stage production—one in which the author risks losing both his original vision and himself.
