Seeking a Producer , Musical director , Stage Manager , Set Designer  and Publicist ! Easter Week 8 Corpus Playroom Mainshow is looking for production team! In the plays that will appear in the double bill of Pushkin's Little Tragedies, you can find: an eternal conflict of a jealous hard-working craftsman with a careless genius, a life in pursuit of eros that culminates in a well-deserved, yet tragically picturesque death, poison in a glass of wine, and the Stone Guest statue coming alive to take revenge on his murderer. This is Russian drama at its finest, created by a poet under censorship, at the height of his creative glory.

Mozart:
“...villainy and genius,
As you’ll agree, my friend, sit ill together.”

Salieri:
“You think so?”
(He pours the poison into Mozart’s drink.)

Two obsessions. One evening. Envy and passion. Pushkin’s Little Tragedies: psychological duels where a single idea becomes a world, and a world is brought to ruin by a single, fatal choice. This double bill presents two of his most devastating studies. Mozart and Salieri dissects the chilling rationale of envy, driven to murder when it confronts divine genius. The Stone Guest is a reckoning for a life lived only for passion, as Don Juan meets his murdered, silent judge. Staged with sharp, modern clarity in the intimate Corpus Playroom, this is classical theatre stripped to its essence. It is an evening of razor-sharp verse, electrified tension, and the sobering thrill of watching destiny unfold. A production for those who believe theatre should be an intellectual event as much as an emotional one.
