Moscow Art Theatre 1969

Directed by Vladimir Osminin

The 70th anniversary of the Moscow Art Theatre is celebrated with new premieres that creatively intertwine tradition and innovation. Stories about the founders of the theatre, Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko, and the galaxy of famous actors, including Ivan Moskvin, Vasily Kachalov, and others, are interspersed with film clips of the play Tartuffe. The history of the theater is also the history of its repertoire, which includes such plays as "At the Bottom," "The Cherry Orchard," "Anna Karenina," "The Kremlin Chimes," and many others.
