One is always tempted to say to a young actor or actress: « Take a seat and speak ». And then, as soon as one of them does take a seat and speaks, everything comes alive. That is the art of theatre. Thus I have now come back to something very classical and very modest: writing for theatre. I am confronted with playwriting. It is not easy to write for theatre today because one could almost say that everything has already been written. And yet, we need to start over.
I love to write for actresses. That is maybe what I do: I give work to actresses. Give them great parts. I do that knowingly. I try to propose to my actresses roles where they can really act and not just appear in a scene to look pretty.
The Actress has been written for the actors of Art Theatre of Moscow in 2015? The piece tells us about the last days of an extraordinary actress. Over a few weeks she takes leave of all those she loved. All her family is there as well as her colleagues from the theatre. To the end. Surrounded by hundreds of bouquets from admirers. As if in a morgue.
