And help in this a little sentimental, at timesfunny, somewhere a lyrical comedy "Adult games." The actors not only played a huge number of performances in the country, but also visited this comedy abroad.

The cast of the play
Director of the production "Adult Games" SergeiArtsibashev built a performance on the peculiar individualities of actors and some elusive similarity of characters. Tragicomic figure - a sincere and awkward Albert Donet, buried in himself an artist. He was brilliantly played by Daniil Spivakovski in a duet with the unbalanced and uninhibited Yvon Fouche (Daria Feklenko), his former wife in comedy.
Until the culmination of the performance in the hall goesthe mysterious handsome Anre Buville (Victor Zaporozhsky), until the regal Gabriel (Alain Yakovleva) appears, creating a complete duet in which they unfold from an unexpected side. And, finally, serious, but jealous Claude Pichon (Alexander Shavrin) and the grace of grace Mariette Livier, played by the acclaimed actress Olga Prokofieva, who all fell for comedic roles.
Who is who, or the plot of the plot
The scene is a luxury restaurant in Paris. The table is served for six persons. Claude Pichon is on stage with a glass of champagne. Albert Donet enters through the double door. A conversation begins, in which they try to understand who else and why was invited to a dinner party by a lawyer who led their divorce proceedings. After a while, the front door opens and another man appears. This is Andre Bouville. He, as it turned out from the conversation, also divorced, moreover, his wife also died. But the matter of divorce was also led by Paul Gerard.
All three men start to assume that threethe next person will be a woman. Although they do not exclude the possibility of a lawyer coming with his wife. But then, who else will be with them? Andre goes for cigarettes, and Claude goes to the toilet. The restaurant is Albert. And at this moment the charming actress Olga Prokofieva comes into the room. Stop! In the play is Mariet. She came to Gerard's dinner party.

So, going out of the restaurant hall and returning to it, all the guests were invited to a dinner party. Moreover, these are three pairs, the divorce proceedings of which were dealt with by the lawyer Gerard.
The Games Begin
And gathered in the restaurant all Gabrielle, the formerwife Andre. She is alive and beautiful, but for Andre she died, because she said she would give a divorce only through her corpse. As it turns out during the play, the couple dispersed, but really each of them can not give an answer to the question, why.
Staying alone in the restaurant hall, couples onthe play could without hypocrisy, sincerely show their feelings. Communicating with the former half, each hero of the play resurrects his memories and begins to understand what mistakes he made. To some extent this helps games offered by Gabrielle.

This is the inability to understand and accept your partner, from the revelations of Claude and Mariel. Or excessive dissolution in his partner, as it was in the family life of Gabrielle and Andre. This burning of bridges in the relationship between Yvonne and Albert because of a misunderstanding with love letters.
And how touching were the answers to the second question aboutThe fact that the good and the pleasant was done by the former spouse or spouse. Yvonne and Albert returned to their memories and acknowledged that even on the day of parting their breakfast was held in the same warm atmosphere. But they understand with the letters (understand at that time, Yvon, that the letters the spouse burned only because he wrote other, warmer and more passionate), there would not have been this stupid divorce.
