<p>Yesterday we were at the Malt house and watched &#8220;War in Peace&#8221;.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t want to spoil it for you if you haven&#8217;t watched it yet, but I just say that show was amazing. I thought even before the show that it is almost impossible to make a theatre production based on a book of one thousand pages. Well, looks like it&#8217;s possible, especially if you relate to it very grotesque as they did.</p>
<p>What is this book about? As one actor said: &#8220;This book has a title &#8220;War and peace&#8221;, so it is pretty much about everything&#8221;.</p>
<p>Production was unusual&#8230;ly great. At least I thought so. But my friend didn&#8217;t like it at all. It is kinda love and hate relationship. That&#8217;s the best formula for success. Or you can name love/hate relationship more fundamental like Tolstoy did when he named his book &#8220;War and Peace&#8221;&#8230; for example.</p>
<p>Anywhoo, I read the book long time ago, but the feelings after the show was this kind: we are feeling small at war and great at peace time, but we do the opposite: behave great at war and &#8220;small&#8221; when we relaxed and only Tolstoy can be great everywhere.</p>

<p>Вчера мы с другом посетили шоу &#8220;Война и мир&#8221;.</p>
<p>Ещё задолго до шоу я была удивлена, как можно делать театральную постановку, базируясь на книге в тысячу страниц. Как сказал один из актеров: &#8220;Как вы думаете, о чем эта книга? Книга это о войне и мире. То есть почти обо всём&#8221;.</p>
<p>После шоу мы вышли с очень двойственными эмоциями. Я была в восторге, но мой дрүг &#8211; нет. В своём роде любовь и ненависть тоже, что война и мир в миниатюре. Получается что, чтобы актеры ни делали, они удачно справились со своей задачей мы даже после шоу поняли, что мы общаемся всё в тех же черно-белых отношениях. Слава театральным богам, эти актеры не решились поставить &#8220;Преступление и наказание&#8221;.</p>
