"" - a performance based on the play by the classic of Russian literature A. N. Ostrovsky, which you can see in the repertoire of the Maly Theater. This is the story of Savva Vasilkov (his image on the stage of the Maly Theater is embodied by V. Nizova). Savva Vasilkov is a young provincial at first glance; he falls in love with the cynical, spoiled beauty Lidia Cheboksarova (Svetlana Amanova), who simply cannot imagine herself outside the environment of luxurious and expensive things. The rumor about Vasilkov's wealth brings Cheboksarova to the point that she not only draws her attention to the provincial guy, but even marries him. However, very soon the bride is disappointed in her choice, discovering the stinginess of her husband. Those traits of his character that had previously seemed funny to her become hateful. Lydia, in despair, turns to her former boyfriends, but they, living in debt, sarcastically point the former lover to her husband's house. “Not the one who has a lot of money, but the one who knows how to get it,” they seem to hint to Lydia.
The play "Mad Money" at the Maly Theater perfectly demonstrates the provincial life of the Ostrovsky era, emphasized by billboards, twisted fencing, balloons and lanterns, curtains and couches, candlesticks and mirrors, flower pots, picturesque statues, panels - and, of course, stylized costumes characters. Yes, there are a lot of little things here, but their abundance does not distract attention from the performance, and the very reading of Ostrovsky looks exciting and dignified.
What is "crazy money"? This is money that does not stay in the wallet, money is "quick", money is "fidget". This means that the play "Mad Money" and (like the rest of the works of the great classic) are still relevant today, at the dawn of the twenty-first century. Witty dialogues, swift intrigue, gripping plot, heartfelt story and deep philosophy - all these features inherent in the work of the great master are brilliantly revealed creative team Maly Theater in one of its best productions. In addition to Viktor Nizovoy and Svetlana Amanova, the main roles in the play are performed by Alevtina Evdokimova, Valery Babatinsky and many other famous actors of the Maly Theater. The production was directed by V. Ivanov, Honored Art Worker of Russia.
Genre: Comedy in 2 acts.
The duration of the performance is 2 hours 45 minutes.

Savva Gennadich Vasilkov V.A. Nizovoy D.D. Koznov

I strongly disagree with one of the commentators below, in my opinion the play is very witty, literally every sentence is a diamond, a catch phrase. Actually, the play is the main and, probably, almost the only merit of the performance. It's just that in this production, the play is completely lost. In my opinion, Mad Money requires a calmer and more intelligent production with different accents, such as the staging at the Maly Theater with Yuri Kayurov and the genius Nikita Podgorny. Actors at the Maly Theater are usually the strongest side of any performance. However, in this performance, in my opinion, the actors, or rather the actor (Vladimir Dubrovsky), is the main drawback. I always knew Dubrovsky as a talented and intelligent artist with a wonderful voice, but here his acting comes down to antics, antics and vulgar clownery, it's sad that the actor does not seem to understand that he is going too far. It is even sadder that the same situation is observed in other performances. recent years with the participation of Dubrovsky, for example, in Kasatka and the School of Taxpayers. If it were not for his character at all, or if another artist had played him, the performance would have become an order of magnitude higher. There are no complaints about Polina Dolinskaya and Viktor Nizovy. Polina Dolinskaya played well, was absolutely charming, beautiful and charming, but this time she had some problems with diction, which I never noticed behind her (in some places she spoke too quietly and indistinctly). Viktor Nizovoy is also good, but I prefer him in dramatic roles, in comedic ones he sometimes sins with cliches and pulls out the role exclusively with his personal charm. The most pleasant impression was made by the actors who played minor characters- Glumov performed by Mikhail Fomenko and Vasily performed by Sergei Tezov, who played subtly and intelligently, who were able to express all the humor of their characters and play in little things, in notes of voice, without resorting to frankly cheap comedy cliches than in varying degrees everyone else has sinned. In the form in which the play now exists, it is close to being called bad or even very bad. Yes, some scenes are tolerant and in some places the performance is even funny, but others are simply shocking - it's clownery (in a bad sense of the word), it's primitive, tasteless and vulgar, it's a shame and a shame to see this on the stage of the great Maly Theater. But even if we remove all this unbearable vulgarity from the performance, the maximum assessment for him will be - nothing, just nothing. There are performances that do not evoke any special emotions, but you can say about them: “This is cute” or “This is funny,” but here it is simply not possible. For the sake of fairness, I can note that I never liked this production and in any cast, however, replacing Svetlana Amanova with young actresses for this performance is a breakthrough. The Maly Theater always has a hard time parting with performances, especially with performances based on Ostrovsky, but, in my opinion, the time has come to do it - it is obvious that the performance has already outlived its time and the rejuvenation of the composition or some other attempts to prolong its life are artificial and will not help in any way .In general, the performance is kind of noisy, loud, chaotic and lacking in ideas, and I would rate it as three-minus. I will hope that the next production of Mad Money at the Maly Theater will be carried out by another director, another artist and will become more successful , and the Maly Theater will prove that it knows how to stage Ostrovsky, that personally in my Lately is causing more and more doubts.

Mad Money at the Maly Theater is a great show for families.
One of best plays the outstanding Russian playwright Alexander Nikolaevich Ostrovsky "Mad Money" is currently successfully staged in several theaters in the capital. What is this play about, what are the similarities and differences between the performances and how the public responds about each of them - all this and much more later in this article.
Ostrovsky's play
The comedy Mad Money was completed by Alexander Ostrovsky by the end of autumn 1869, the first publication took place in early 1870, on the pages of the journal Otechestvennye zapiski. In the same year, the first performances of the play took place in two theaters at once. In the first editions the play was titled "All that glitters is not gold" and "Scythe on a stone".
The plot of the play "Mad Money" tells about the fate and life of a completely different heroes who are united by one thing - the thirst for money, wealth and an idle life. Three types of imaginary rich people - the forty-year-old nobleman Telyatev, who lives on a grand scale, but only on debt, the sixty-year-old well-born master Kuchumov, cruel and deceitful, whose wealth consists only in relations between his mother and wife, and, finally, main character- the provincial Savva Vasilkov, whom, for fun, acquaintances present as a millionaire. No less greedy heroines are being led to this bait - a maiden of marriageable age Lydia Yurievna, who dreams of a beautiful, comfortable life, and her mother Nadezhda Antonovna, who hides her dream of profit from a successful marriage of her daughter with the angelic face of good intentions. In general, all the main characters pretend that they are naive and kind, and they themselves only dream of money. Savva Vasilkov falls in love with Lydia, and she reciprocates only after learning about his millions, which in fact do not exist. As a result, they turn out to be ideal people for each other, since for both the only value in life is money - marriage for them is nothing more than a deal. That is why Lydia calmly goes to the housekeeper to Vasilkov, hoping to later rise to the status - no matter how comical it may sound - the status of a wife. It is interesting that Yegor Glumov appears again among the heroes, already known to readers (and viewers) from the comedy "Enough Simplicity for Every Wise Man."
Ostrovsky's "Mad Money" can be called a comedy version of his "Dowry" - all the same social problems will raise in the next play Alexander Nikolaevich, only this time in a dramatic vein. The play's zest is given by the absence of positive characters in it - all the main characters, according to the author's idea, should not arouse sympathy among the reader or viewer.
First performances
In April 1870, just a few months after the first publication of the play, Mad Money was staged at the Alexandrinsky Theater in St. Petersburg. Unfortunately, the play was received rather coldly, as the newspapers later wrote: "The Petersburg public does not want stories about a simple life." The Moscow premiere took place in October 1870 on the stage of the Maly Theater. Here, Ostrovsky's new play was well received, the performances were sold out. It is not surprising that in this theater the play is successfully staged to this day, albeit by different directors.
"Mad Money" at the Maly Theater
The play has been successfully staged at the Maly Theater since the first premiere in 1870 for many years, but was withdrawn from the show at the turn of the century - Civil War and the revolution demanded completely different productions. However, by the 30s, classical performances began to return to the stage - especially Ostrovsky, who so coincided in his ideas with the ideas of the new, Soviet state. The first Soviet production of the play took place in 1933, on the stage of the Maly Theater. The content of the play "Mad Money" in 1933 was as close as possible to the original source - the stage director Ivan Stepanovich Platonov did not tolerate ad-libbing in relation to the classics, and therefore absolutely all of Alexander Ostrovsky's remarks were followed. All geniuses of that time theatrical stage were involved in the production. The role of Nadezhda Cheboksarova was performed by the greatest Russian actress Alexandra Alexandrovna Yablochkina. Her work was highly appreciated both by viewers and critics, and by stage partners, although the actress herself said that initially she did not understand Cheboksarova and in the first productions she played her incorrectly:
Before Cheboksarova seemed to me to be a positive type, I saw only her great love for her daughter, who excused all her actions, justifying her actions. Later, I realized my delusion and began to play Cheboksarova as a negative image. I used to believe that Cheboksarova does not lie internally when she says: “You are saying terrible words, Lydia: there is nothing worse than poverty. Yes, Lydia: vice! " - and therefore put into these words the genuine emotion of a noble soul. But this is not true: Cheboksarova is hiding behind a screen of dignity and honesty. She is all in the power of calculation, her "dignity" is enough only for the desire to "observe decency." In fact, this is a cynical, selfish creature, her love for Lydia is a desire to sell her at a higher price, by any means to get a rich man for her
The role of her daughter Lydia was played by the equally brilliant actress Elena Nikolaevna Gogoleva, who at the time of the premiere was 33 years old. Thanks to her excellent external data, she continued to play 24-year-old Lydia until she was 48 years old. The older and younger Cheboksarovs performed by Yablochkina and Gogoleva are in the photo below.
Other famous actors of the 1933 play "Mad Money" include Nikolai Kapitonovich Yakovlev as Vasilkov, Konstantin Aleksandrovich Zubov as Telyatev and Pyotr Ivanovich Starkovsky as Kuchumov.
The next staging of the play on the stage of the Maly Theater was not only carried out in 1978, but also filmed in the form of a teleplay. The directors of this production were Nikolai Alexandrovich, Vladimir Beilis and Leonid Varpakhovsky. In this production, many stars of the screen and the scene of the USSR were also involved, but already better known to the modern viewer. So, the role of Lydia went to the star of her time Elina Bystritskaya - despite the fact that at the time of the premiere she was exactly 40 years old. The role of her future chosen one Vasilkov went to Yuri Kayurov, Nadezhda Antonovna was played by Irina Likso, and Telyateva was played by Nikita Podgorny.
Well, the first premiere of the play "Mad Money" at the Maly Theater, which is still being successfully staged, took place 20 years later - in 1998. The duration of this performance is 2 hours 45 minutes and it consists of two acts with an intermission. Age limit 12+. The cost of tickets for the performance is from 200 to 3000 rubles. The production takes place on another stage of the Maly Theater, which is located at Bolshaya Ordynka, 69.
The fourth - for the Maly Theater - version of the play was directed by Vitaly Nikolaevich Ivanov, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation, and the chief director was Vitaly Anatolyevich Konyaev, People's Artist of the Russian Federation. Cast:
- Vasilkov - Viktor Nizovoy / Dmitry Koznov.
- Lydia - Polina Dolinskaya / Daria Novoseltseva.
- Cheboksarova - Aleftina Evdokimova / Lyudmila Polyakova.
- Valery Babyatinsky as Telyatev.
- Kuchumov - Vladimir Dubrovsky.
- Glumov - Mikhail Fomenko.
The Maly Theater even has a trailer for this performance with one of the cast. You can watch it in the video below.
At the Mayakovsky theater
On the stage of the Moscow Mayakovsky Theater, the play "Mad Money" is still very young. It premiered in April 2017. The role of Nadezhda Antonova in this production was performed by the famous Soviet and Russian actress Svetlana Nemolyaeva. She was born on April 18, 1937, and the authors timed the premiere of the performance to coincide with her 80th birthday. But this is not the only reason why the play "Mad Money" is special for Nemolyaeva - the fact is that in this production, in the role of Lydia, her granddaughter Polina Lazareva appears on the stage with the great actress. A zest to this information is added by the fact that the director of the production, Anatoly Shulyev, did not know about the kinship of the actresses when he was distributing the roles. He simply decided that Svetlana Nemolyaeva and Polina Lazareva were similar in appearance, like relatives - and hit the spot.
Other actors in the play "Mad Money" by Anatoly Shulyev are:
- Vasilkov - Alexey Dyakin.
- Velyatin - Vitaly Lensky.
- Kuchumov - Alexander Andrienko.
- Glumov - Konstantin Konstantinov.
The director himself designated the genre of the production as a "comedy of obsession" - after all, all the heroes can really be called obsessed, from which they find themselves in situations that are funny for the viewer. The performance runs for 3 hours and 20 minutes, with one intermission and category 12+. The ticket will cost the viewer from 500 to 2700 rubles. Those interested are invited to the main stage at 19/13 Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street. Before deciding whether to go to this show or not, you can watch the trailer below.
At the Satire Theater
In 1981, on the stage of the Satire Theater, the famous actor Andrei Mironov staged this performance, and even played in it himself the main role Savva Vasilkov. The play was staged at the Satire Theater for a long time after the death of the actor, but, for unknown reasons, was filmed at the beginning of the 2000s. However, in 2013, the director, actor and good friend Mironov Andrei Zenin restored the performance, completely repeating all the ideas of Andrei Alexandrovich and timed the premiere to coincide with his birthday. In reviews of the play "Mad Money", staged at the Satire Theater, those critics who knew and loved the previous production unsubscribed. They agreed that Zenin managed to preserve the tragicomedy note put into Ostrovsky's play by Mironov himself, and that all lovers of the "old" theater of Satire should pay attention to this production.
Following the example of Andrei Mironov, Andrei Zenin himself played the role of Savva Vasilkov. Other actors and roles of this production:
- Lydia - Anastasia Mikishova.
- Cheboksarova Sr. - Valentina Sharykina.
- Aleksandr Chevychelov as Telyatev.
- Kuchumov - Sergei Churbakov.
- Glumov - Ivan Mikhailovsky.
The duration of the performance "Mad Money" at the Satire Theater is 2 hours and 30 minutes, there is an intermission. Spectators are invited to the stage "Attic of Satire", the address of the theater Triumfalnaya Square, 2. Tickets will cost from 450 to 1500 rubles.
At the Taganka Theater
Unusual in the performance of the Taganka Theater is that the entire plot was transferred from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. The director of "Mad Money" in the Art Nouveau style was already a successful actress and aspiring director Maria Fedosova. The duration of this performance is 3 hours and 20 minutes, but the marking is higher than that of the previous ones - 16+.
The roles are played by:
- Savva Vasilkov - Vladimir Zaviktorin.
- Lydia - Irina Usok.
- Cheboksarova - Anna Mokhova / Polina Fokina.
- Kuchumov - Mikhail Basov.
- Telyatev - Danila Perov / Dmitry Belotserkovsky.
- Glumov - Roman Serkov.
Tickets for this performance cost from 400 to 1000 rubles. The address of the theater is 76/21 Zemlyanoy Val street.
At the Pushkin Theater
A rather interesting version of the play was shown at the Moscow Pushkin Theater from May 2010 to June 2013. It is interesting both from the point of view of directorial ideas and from the point of view of an unusual cast - Vera Alentova and Ivan Urgant appeared on the list of characters. Quite eccentric, symbolic, and even with a touch of absurdity, director Roman Kozak approached the creation of the play. He managed to make a very topical, modern and incredibly witty show out of Ostrovsky's comedy. The performance had a three-hour duration, but judging by the reviews, it looked in the same breath.
Actors and roles of the play "Mad Money" at the Pushkin Theater:
- Vasilkov - Ivan Urgant.
- Lydia - Alexandra Ursulyak.
- Cheboksarova - Vera Alentova.
- Telyatev - Viktor Verzhbitsky.
- Kuchumov - Vladimir Nikolenko.
- Glumov - Boris Dyachenko.
This performance was closed more than five years ago, and it is not yet known whether it will return to the stage, and if so, will it be in the same composition and form? But fortunately, the full version of the play is not difficult to find and watch on the net. And below you can see a small trailer, which was timed to coincide with the premiere.
At the St. Petersburg Comedy Theater
The premiere of the youngest version of the play took place in February 2018 - this version of Mad Money was staged at the St. Petersburg Akimov Comedy Theater. This version turned out to be not only very close to the original source, even somewhat refined, but also incredibly beautiful - a fresh look at the costumes and appearance of the characters, the continuous snow, the combination of blue and black in minimalistic decorations - all this attracts even those who have managed to see all the existing staging "Mad Money" and not ready to be surprised. The director of the play was Tatiana Kazakova, who is artistic director all this theater.
Perhaps, a woman's view of the play affected, but in this version it will not work at all to sympathize with Savva and Lydia: inside Vasilkov, the viewer will feel a tragic note of self-denial, and in Lydia - glimpses of a gentle, albeit deeply hidden soul. Between the heroes, in addition to the practical union, it will be possible to feel the incipient love. Thus, Kazakova decided to make a kind of melodrama out of comedy. Starring actors appeared in the roles, performing on a par with honored and even people's artists:
- Vasilkov - Alexander Matveev.
- Lydia - Daria Lyatetskaya.
- Senior Cheboksarova - Irina Mazurkevich / Natalia Shostak.
- Nikolai Smirnov as Telyatev.
- Kuchumov - Sergei Russkin.
- Glumov - Dmitry Lebedev.
The performance lasts exactly three hours, the cost of tickets is from 500 to 2000 rubles. Theater address: St. Petersburg, Nevsky prospect 56.
Screen adaptation
In 1981, the first and only to date feature film adaptation of the play "Mad Money" was released on screens - if you do not take into account the 1978 version, since it is, after all, a performance, albeit shown on TV. The film was directed by Yevgeny Matveev, an actor of the Maly Theater, who was not able to take part in the theatrical production of the play, although he had always dreamed about it. The film somewhat distorts the main message of the original source, making Vasilkov and Lydia not bad by nature, but, as it were, victims of the bad influence of others. Thus, the agreement of the youngest Cheboksarova to become a housekeeper in the house of Savva Genadich's mother (as in the film) looks here not as an abnormal quirk for a healthy family, but as a way of correction, without which neither Vasilkov nor Lydia can do. The film is interesting with the participation of such actors as Elena Solovey and Yuri Yakovlev. According to numerous reviews on the network, many moviegoers and lovers of Ostrovsky's work agree that for the sake of the brilliant performance of these outstanding artists alone, the film is worth watching. The roles were performed by:
- Vasilkov - Alexander Mikhailov.
- Lydia - Lyudmila Nilskaya.
- Cheboksarova - Elena Solovey.
- Telyatev - Yuri Yakovlev.
- Kuchumov - Pavel Kadochnikov.
- Glumov - Vadim Spiridonov.
Similarities and differences in performances
Despite the fact that all the performances of "Mad Money" have a common plot, the difference between them is huge. Each director still adds to Ostrovsky's original source his personal feelings and visions of the heroes, just as each actor presents his character differently. For example, in a modern production of the Maly Theater, a certain share of the audience's sympathy will still be on the account of Lydia and Vasilkov. The director did not make them completely hopeless, having brought out of the younger Cheboksarova a kind of heroine of Dostoevsky - cold, calculating, but still not completely lost. And Vasilkov does not seem to be such a provincial fool at all, as if there are sincere feelings in him. In this, the production is very similar to the version of Akimov's St. Petersburg Theater - there, too, the director decided not to make such heartless monsters out of the main characters, but at the same time he observed all the main details of the original text, seasoning them with a bit of sincere and beautiful romance.
A completely different situation with the play "Mad Money" at the Mayakovsky Theater - here the directors have created not just a comedy, but an eccentric one, and the viewer can not even dream of the positive qualities or justification of the heroes' actions. Perhaps this production is not as accurate as in the Maly Theater, but the main message of Ostrovsky has been preserved, which was not going to justify his heroes, and even more so their heartless thirst for profit. Approximately from the same position, the director of the version of the Pushkin Theater approached the play - he brought the humorous component of the play to the grotesque, exaggerating the greed and vices of all the characters.
In the Taganka Theater, as mentioned above, the most fundamental difference is the change in the time in which the characters exist. For the rest, the director stuck to the original source, in the opinion of some viewers - more than everyone else.
The play, which is staged at the Satire Theater, was reproduced according to an earlier production by Andrei Mironov - that is why this comedy is filled with a slight sadness inherent in each theater work this actor and director. Here, too, there is no excuse for the heroes' greed, however, watching their lives, one wants not to punish them with laughter, but to quietly and cordially regret - for the flawed views and foundations of life.
