Akimov, Nikolai Pavlovich (1901–68), Soviet scene designer and director, who first attracted attention by his designs for
Ivanov's Armoured Train 14–69 (1929) and
Afinogenov's Fear (1931) at the Leningrad Theatre of Comedy. Moving to Moscow, he worked at the
Vakhtangov Theatre and was responsible for the famous ‘
Formalist’ production of
Hamlet in 1932, in which Hamlet faked the Ghost, and Ophelia, a ‘bright young thing’, was not mad but drunk: the play was taken off in deference to public opinion. In 1936 Akimov became Art Director of the Leningrad Theatre of Comedy, being responsible for a beautifully staged
Twelfth Night there. In the 1950s he strove to create an original repertory, and fought for the acceptance of new Soviet comedies. His name is particularly associated with the plays of
Shwartz. From 1955 until his death he was on the staff of the Leningrad Theatrical Institute.
