As gods

"Yuri Polyakov, one of my favorite contemporary writers. His style is instantly recognizable from the first row, his plots do not let go until the last page, his well-aimed words and comparisons sink into the memory, and the dialogues entice succinct legasto. His plays - a rare phenomenon of the current drama. They are very modern, though written by the classical canons without chaotic innovation, hiding helplessness. His characters speak in a live, real Russian... Reprise and neologisms of the pieces have long moved in to live it, and this is a sure sign of nationality of the writer's gift. Another feature of these plays: they capture you, not only when played on stage. To read them is also very interesting. A rarity not only in these times..." Stanislav Govorukhin.
