A new batch of theater impressions. 🥂 We went to the theater on Vasilyevsky Island for "The Long Christmas Dinner" based on T. Wilder's play — and this time it happened: that very feeling of enjoyment and complete satisfaction from what we saw, heard, and felt. A play that is not at all vulgar, simultaneously unhurried and profound, about life. There is plenty to think about, moments to shed a tear, and some scenes to laugh heartily (the gymnastics hoops are exploited here as a separate art form 😂). The play is multifaceted — just like life itself. The actors perfectly live (literally) their roles.

Time relentlessly carries us in the chariot of life. Eras and generations change. Yesterday's children imperceptibly turn into today's old people. And in this whirlwind, it is important to grasp simple truths — youth is beautiful and later will never come. You must do everything important now.
Trivial? Perhaps. But how many understand this trivial truth and follow it?

For me, this play is not a story of a family's degeneration (although that is certainly a leitmotif of the play — greetings to "The Golovlyov Family" by Saltykov-Shchedrin), but a story about rash actions, missed opportunities, and how important it is not to let a single moment of life slip through your fingers!
