Performance-troupe «Vibrating body»
The project is aimed at popularizing modern English dramatic art of small form in Russia. This project is open and non-commercial, pursues exclusively educational goals. All the plays that will be presented under this project have been translated into Russian for the first time.
Target:
The presentation of modern English plays of small form in Russian in the form of a play-reading and a playbook.
Tasks:
The short play, according to the author of the project, is the most interesting and lively form. It is in demand, but more relevant for independent or non-professional theater projects, rather than for repertory theaters. The plays of the living playwrights present the most modern trends in drama, and they make it possible to make a so-called «cut» practically in real time. The more interesting it is to present to the spectator a modern short English play as an «actual picture of the world» by writers of the Misty Albion.

One-act satirical comedy, exploiting the textbook story of the "reviser" waiting. The action takes place in our day, in a British cosmetic clinic.
The play constructs and describes an abstract world that lives by its laws, not designating the time of action and space. Despite these conventions, it creates vivid characters and their relationships.
