Taganka Theatre, Moscow. This theatre, whose official name is the Theatre of Drama and Comedy, is situated on Taganka Square, at some distance from the centre of the capital, and seats about 600. It was founded in 1946 and during the next 18 years presented more than 50 Soviet plays. In 1964
Lyubimov took it over and made it a centre for avant-garde work, presenting a wide range of innovatory productions including an adaptation of John Reed's book
Ten Days That Shook the World in 1967,
Molière's Tartuffe in 1969, and in 1973 Peter
Weiss's How Mr Mockinpott was Relieved of His Suffering and
Gorky's The Mother. There was a modern-dress
Hamlet in 1974 and in 1977 a brilliant staging of
Bulgakov's novel
The Master and Margarita. There have also been ‘montage’ versions of poems by
Mayakovsky,
Pushkin, and others. Lyubimov went into exile in 1984, but was reinstated in 1989 and restored some of his banned productions.
