Thanks sharon!!! This is such exiting news!
" A well-known figure skater will play the role of Vladimir Putin in the play "The President's Vacation", whose premier will take place on the scene of the theater of stage on July 2. 2008. - We took a long time to select an actor for the main role, and after long disputes we stopped at the candidature of Yagudin, says the producer of play Aleksei Khrapovitsky. Indeed in the theatrical setting it is not required a formal resemblance - the most conditional of the skills are not the same as in the cinema. That Yagudin is not an actor, but an athlete, this may be considered as good. Indeed if we consider the main hero of our play, his disposition is very much of the sporting quality. And, by the way, Alexei Yagudin has an incredible artistic ability. He approached our project with interest and immediately accepted the work on this first role in the theater. Now he studies the lessons of actor's craftsmanship. He studies the role and, as soon as he will return from the tours, he will commence the rehearsals. Alexei understands, that the sport is not eternal, and he searches for that which will fill his life after withdrawal from sport. I think, the role of Putin - this the best springboard for the beginning actor.
The premier of play takes place on July 2. True, producers, until now, were not completely safistifed with the name of the play. Since the acting President was Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin at the time the play was written the title was appropriate. Now, obviously, for director it is necessary to change name, for example to "the vacations of the Head of Government". It is the first play about Putin, which is accepted for the setting immediately in three theaters of the country, came into being on the eve of Vladimir Vladimirovich's 55- anniversary. - In the Vladivostok youth theater already rehearsals are already taking place. In July the premier of play takes place in a Moscow theater. The events of the play take place on the Siberian taiga within a new settlement where Vladimir Putin in the company of the well-known American writer (who is writing a book about the President of Russia) occurs the will of fate. The engine of presidential helicopter falters during the working circling of taiga territories, and it is forced to land on the Siberian taiga. The President is torn from the entire world and for several weeks lives among the taiga inhabitants. We wanted to show Putin among the simple people - a man, who thrown into an extreme situation does not lose a feeling of composure and with characteristic determination and perception withstood all tests. The subject of play is developed unconstrainedly and gaily, and everything concludes well. At the end of the two hour play the President flies away, but ihe promises to return. In order to accurately transmit unique coloring and picturesqueness of the speech of Putin, we studied for an entire year all the newspapers and periodicals we could with the speeches of President Putin and verbatim included in the text of play Putin expressions - so that there there is no ad-libbing. The authors of play are assured that the stage life of Vladimir Putin is doomed to a long life. - Plays about Putin will go on for decades, the constitution does not take precidence and by no means can the presidential period be limited within this context."
