Le Puttane
Comedy in two acts
About
When asked about giving permission for his play to be staged in Russia, Nino Manfredi, the famous Italian actor and director, put forth one condition: it can only be done if Roman Viktyuk directs it.
Le Puttane tells a touching story of a relationship between a playwright (Efim Shifrin) and a prostitute (Ekaterina Karpushina). As we learn throughout the performance, their professions have much in common. It’s a light and charming production, filled with humourous dialogue and amusing clown-hooligans, accentuated by the brilliant duet of Efim Shifrin and Ekaterina Karpushina.
