STAGE RUSSIA HD Presents THE BLACK MONK (Moscow Young Spectator’s Theatre)

Based on the short story by Anton Chekhov, Kama Ginkas’s astounding reimagining highlights and builds off of the Chekhovian tension between the beauty of life and the tragedy of how it is lived. Ginkas, as any theater lover will tell you, creates small, intense, highly personal works that leave few spectators indifferent. And he succeeds because of his commanding theatrical vision.

105 minutes. Presented in Russian with English subtitles.
