In the Drama Theater. A.S.

Stein," Rush Hour " Jerzy Stawinski, “Justice is my craft” L. Zhukhovitsky . His last production was a play based on the novel by A. Haley - “Airport”.

From the recollections of actress Nina Urgant :

I had the deepest respect for Muzilla and was happy when he invited me to play Inken in the play “Before Sunset”, where I met such wonderful actors as Lydia Petrovna Shtykan and Nikolai Konstantinovich Simonov. Naturally, at that time I was very worried - from fear, constriction, because I had never communicated with such brilliant artists. I am grateful to the Musil primarily as a person - it was he who invited me to the Pushkin Theater.
