When:
Where: Winter Theatre, 2 Teatralnaya Street, Sochi
The Man in a Case and The Darling share an evening at the Winter Theatre on 21 November 2026. The visiting Chekhov Theatre from Taganrog presents two contrasting Chekhov characters through separate stage productions.
Two stories, two views of human nature
In The Man in a Case, the teacher Belikov tries to subject life to rules. The free-spirited Kovalenko brother and sister disrupt the familiar order. Director Tatyana Voronina explores restriction and freedom through stage images: a grey crowd, the Kovalenkos’ white clothes, a balloon and a caged bird. Music and folk songs accompany the performance.
Voronina’s The Darling examines a different dependence, as its heroine seeks meaning in another person. Chekhov’s irony sits alongside sympathy. Watching two self-contained productions lets you compare how the stage language and mood change from one story to the next.
Date, venue and tickets
The performance starts at 19:00 on 21 November 2026. The Winter Theatre is in central Sochi at 2 Teatralnaya Street. See the venue’s official announcement for current information and tickets.
