It contains stories about 125 performances that were or are currently on the stage of the Moscow Art Theatre. Of course, there have been many more performances presented at this theatre over its 125 years of existence – we selected the most significant ones, as well as those that define the present face of MHT. The face of the theatre that we are building now. For me, perhaps the most important thing in MHT right now is the search for its theme. This is not a quick process; such things are not born artificially. And while we are still trying to find our story, it is very important for the theatre to remain alive. This book is about a living theatre. Artistic director of the MHT named after A.P. Chekhov Konstantin Khabensky
