Special project

Pushkin Theatre in cinemas

The Moscow Drama Theatre named after A.S. Pushkin is a boulevard theatre in the truest sense of the word – because it occupies a historic building on Tverskoy Boulevard. And it is an art theatre – in terms of the quality and significance of its performances. They do not shy away from light genres and are not afraid of serious topics; art is not the opposite of a show; every spectacle is high class. Our selection includes star performances that quickly became legends; current classics staged by the theatre’s artistic director Evgeny Pisarev and invited directors – from Vladimir Mirzoev to Yuri Butusov. →
