The Moscow Pushkin Drama Theatre is a theatre company in Moscow created in 1950 on the base of Alexander Tairov's Chamber Theatre, which was founded in 1914 and shut down in 1949 for ideological reasons. The theatre is based in the Russian capital's centre, at Tverskoy Boulevard, 23.

Background

The history of the Pushkin Theatre goes back to 1914 when still relatively unknown Alexander Tairov was looking for a site for his new theatre. As the actress Alisa Koonen suggested a large house on Tverskoy, Tairov initially found it unsuitable before coming up with the idea of reconstruction, which was soon implemented into a project by the architect N.Morozov. The Chamber Theatre opened on December 12, 1914, with the production of traditional Indian drama Shakuntala. Problems emerged when the Russian Orthodox Church authorities expressed disapproval of the theatre's closeness to the Ioann Bogoslov Cathedral; the conflict proved to be lasting one, but did get resolved. In the 1930s the building was reconstructed (according to architects Konstantin Melnikov and the Stenberg brothers) although not as radically as Tairov wanted. The facade was simplified and became very modest looking. In 1949 the Chamber Theatre was closed, for "aestheticism and formalism", according to the official statement, as a result of the Zhdanov doctrine being put into practice.

Among the Pushkin Theatre other leaders were Boris Tolmazov (1971-1978), Alexey Govorukho (1978-1983), Boris Morozov (1983-1987), Yuri Yeryomin (1987-2000) and Roman Kozak (2001-2010). Its current head is Yevgeny Pisarev.

Хороший театр. Отличные актеры, интересное режиссерское прочтение Островского. В последний раз не понравился наплыв школьников, которые просто заполонили театр и вели себя не подобающе

Чудесные, трогательные декорации к "Вишневому саду" постановки Петербургского театра имени Андрея Миронова... А спектакль - отдохновение для души!????????

Спектакль «Много шума из ничего» прекрасен! Блистательный актерский состав и интересный взгляд художников на классику. Саундтрек от группы W/ в живом исполнении.

Очень красивый театр: хотя бы один интерьер стоит того, чтобы там побывать. Репертуар кажется весьма достойным, посмотрела "Великую магию" и хочется ещё. Цены в буфете приемлемые.
