Time: 7:00 - 9:00pm Venue: Film and Drama Studio, Arts 2
Students and staff of Russian at QMUL are staging a classic satirical novel “The Twelve Chairs” («Двенадцать стульев») written by the Soviet authors Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov.
The plot of the play follows characters attempting to obtain jewellery hidden in one of the chairs of a furniture set that was sold off in parts and scattered across the country. “The Twelve Chairs” creates a colourful image of Soviet Russia in the 1920s. The novel is widely known in Russian culture, and many quotes from it have become winged expressions, thanks to popular film adaptations.
If you are interested in coming the play on the 21st or 22nd of March 2024, or bringing a group, please email Dr Nadezda Bragina n.bragina@qmul.ac.uk
