Late October, Moscow centre, the closing night of the legendary Vasili Sveitlovidoff’s final performance but for one mysterious audience member, the actor is nowhere to be found. This sung-through retelling of Chekhov’s play follows actor Sveitlovidoff on his final night in the theatre, as he looks back on his life, and the sacrifices he made to be the revered actor he is today. With orchestrations by Matthew Stanley, Zara Harris’ new musical fuses symphonic and orchestral rock, jazz and R&B to create a whirlwind retelling of a story of love, power, loss and artistry with villainous managers, mysterious visitors and an actor who needs to find peace with his past.
