A legendary play! The comedy "Close People" ("Blizkie Lyudi") by the Moscow Modern Enterprise Theater is a vibrant, witty, yet touching story about human relationships, unfolding entirely within a single hotel room.
Director Alexey Kiryushchenko offers the audience an unusual theatrical structure: two completely different stories take place on the exact same set. Yet they are united by what matters most—the theme of love, with all its contradictions, hopes, disappointments, and the pursuit of happiness.
On stage are beloved and recognizable actors: Elena Valyushkina, Nikolay Dobrynin, and Asya Borisova. Their characters live through stories filled with passion, betrayal, subtle lyricism, and self-irony. Set in St. Petersburg, the performance is given a special atmosphere by its musical accompaniment—songs and dances set to the unmistakable voice of Frank Sinatra, creating a sense of gentle nostalgia and romance.
"Close People" is a comedy of situations featuring sharp, witty dialogues that are easily remembered and often quoted. At the same time, behind the surface lightness lies a deep conversation about how difficult it is to truly be together, understand one another, and not lose yourself in a relationship.
The performance will bring the audience genuine emotions, smiles, and a reason to reflect on what matters most—closeness between people.
