Pushkin Drama Theatre (Dramaticheskii Teatr imeni A.S. Pushkina)

Description:

• Before 1950, Pushkin Drama Theatre used to be known as the Chamber Theatre, but after a decision by the Soviet Art Committee the name was changed and the theatre re-opened with the new name. These days the group tries to follow the old theatre's traditions and for the most part stages classical plays by the likes of Sophocles, Molier, Pushkin, Gogol and others. The theatre stages up to six premieres a year on its main and smaller stages.
