Reviews
- Roman Lunkin : [3] :
Leviticon was originally set to stage both Russian classics and contemporary philosophical plays. In addition to Chekhov, the theater staged Danko and the Old Woman Isergil, as well as the famous play by Oman and the Pink Lady by Emmanuel Schmitt. The fact is that back in 2004 Alice Freindlich played this solo performance for her anniversary on the stage of the Lensovet Theater. The main character Oscar - a ten-year-old boy dying from leukemia - he was played by Alice Freindlich. The boy has 12 New Year's days left, and he writes letters to God, which begin with “Hello, dear God!”. In letters he lives the life that he is not destined to live
