Theater Vsevolod Shilovsky will show the play by Yuri Polyakov on the birthday of the playwright

Yuri Polyakov was born on November 13, 1954 in Moscow. He is known as the author of the novels “Emergency of District Scale”, “One Hundred Days Before the Order” and “Goat in Milk”, as well as numerous plays. The writer is a laureate of the State Prize of Russia, candidate of philological sciences and chairman of the National Association of Playwrights. He also co-founded the Vsevolod Shilovsky Theatre.

Waiting for the Heart was written in 2019. In the center of the plot is the story of a wealthy man who found himself in a cardio center in anticipation of a complex operation. Faced with the threat of death, the hero looks at his own life, relationships with loved ones and values that previously seemed unshakable to him. In the production, dramatic situations are combined with humor and ironic dialogue.

The main role of the billionaire will be played by the People’s Artist of Russia Sergey Kazakov, artistic director of the Penza Drama Theater. Previously, this image was embodied on the stage by the People's Artist of the RSFSR Vsevolod Shilovsky.

The return of the performance to the repertoire became possible thanks to the support of the co-founder of the theater Pavel Gusev, who acted as a patron of the production.

Together with Sergey Kazakov, Victoria Parkhomenko, Madina Dasaeva, Sergey Lavrentyev, Evgenia Yadrets, Nikita Shilkin, Eduard and Sophia Yoonas, Maria Leonova are engaged in the play.
