Storyline: Complete Opposites
At the center of the story are two women who, by chance, are on completely different steps of society. The first, with the ancient name Siren, is a modern businesswoman, a rather successful realtor, who managed to get out of the mud , as they say, to riches. She is already quite wealthy, aged, but not old. Not very educated, but with an amazing sense of humor. The siren gradually, step by step, achieved significant career success. She recognized life from different angles and now does not have any illusions about boundless love. And living the life that she has now, day after day she “drowns” her remaining hopes in a roomy glass with Madeira.
The second - with a more modern, victorious name Victoria. She is a very refined nature, possessing a rather fine mental organization.
Victoria is a certified linguist, doctor of sciences. But her life also underwent some adjustments. Now she has to earn extra money in private lessons at home, hammering the English into the nouveau riche. Once the husband betrayed her, and they divorced. Now Victoria has not very happy memories, disappointment and loneliness.
Storyline: "Young Capricorn", aka Apollo, aka astronomer
Performance "Siren and Victoria", reviews which, for the most part, is full of warmth and gratitude to the actors, is impossible without another character. So, he, “young Capricorn” (as it turns out in a personal meeting - he’s not so young anymore), promising to fulfill all secret female fantasies. This is indicated in the ad text.
And really, what doesn’t happen in life? What if this gentleman is the one - the long-awaited, the only one, beloved and loving? The one that can be called a come true dream of any woman. Perhaps it was he who was able to find a new star in the sky and call her the name of his beloved?
Yes, probably it would be nice if it all happened. But the play “Siren and Victoria”, actors which played great, is a comedy. So, the situation was completely unplanned. For some irony, which later turned out to be just a sign of fate, instead of the invented Apollo, in one of the Moscow apartments there will appear a grief astronomer who is forced to earn extra money by grooming domestic dogs.
From sincere smiles to serious thoughts
The stupidest mistake in dialing a phone number, accidentally made by one of the heroines of this story, led in the end to a series of comic situations.
The plot of the play is very light and very kind. At first, it can be assumed that almost at the very beginning, a love triangle is planned , which, according to a long-established tradition, is present in many comedies. But then it becomes clear: at the same time as the presence of the created funny situations, there are other storylines, thanks to which the viewer can think about many important things. For example, about what values exist today.
What is the play like?
Based on the play of the playwright of the same name by Alexander Galin, the play “Siren and Victoria” was staged. The reviews indicate a well-written script, excellent directing and talented actors who went on stage. The play was written in 1997. Perhaps that is why the issues raised are relevant for that time.
Spectators will be able to see the three main characters: Siren, Victoria and the "young Capricorn", which turned out to be an ordinary man named Konstantin Nikolaevich. The actors who embodied these characters on the stage are known to everyone: Tatyana Kravchenko, Mikhail Politsimako and Olesya Zheleznyak. Sometimes this line-up changes slightly, and Andrei Ilyin plays Konstantin Nikolaevich.
Ladies are well known for the matchmaker series. Long work rallied them, they look very organically on the stage, attracting the attention of the audience to one or another character. And Konstantin Nikolaevich looks, on the one hand, strong, and on the other - a very trusting and domestic person. He was played by the son of Semen Farada, beloved by millions of viewers, Mikhail Policeitsimako.
Actors and Performers

Reviews say that the actress showed herself from a completely different side than the audience used to see her. As it became clear, Olesya Zheleznyak played Victoria, a vulnerable and tender lady. But when she knocked over a pile, she turned into a real Russian woman.
Konstantin Nikolaevich was presented to the audience by one of the most charismatic actors of our time - Mikhail Politsimako (audience rating). You believe him from beginning to end: at first he is indecisive and shy, but after one or two glasses, resentment and anger wake up in him.
From loneliness to happiness in personal life
All the action of this strange story takes place in the huge Moscow apartment of the Siren, whose windows overlook Red Square. She herself admits that in order for this apartment to go into her personal use, she evicted half of Moscow from communal apartments.
Siren and Victoria, these two completely different heroines, are united by loneliness. Each of them has the same and different at the same time.

And the majority (with a few exceptions) say that the action is very dynamic, the plot is simple and understandable. The play not only plays out ridiculous and ridiculous situations, but also touches on quite serious problems that can arise in almost every person. Therefore, the performance is very multifaceted.
Watch and admire
Here it is, an ironic and serious play “Siren and Victoria”. The performance lasts only two hours. But what!
Of course, there is no doubt that this act speaks of female loneliness. And here it does not matter how much money a woman has. The material side of life is not an indicator of limitless happiness. The play shows very interestingly what can be behind the confident "facade" of the lady, and how she can humble herself for the sake of hope to get at least a drop of love.
The viewer can see two sides of life. One is for those people who, having strong teeth and elbows, managed to adapt to a new life and became more or less prosperous. The other is for those who turned out to be useless to anyone and forced to simply survive as they can, even walk in holey socks. There is no usual happy comedy in comedies, but there is a certain message: even in the most hopeless situation, you must accumulate your strength and understand that you are not only who you were, but who you will be.
Of course, not such a low price for tickets. “Siren and Victoria” - a performance for which you have to pay from 700 to 5000 rubles. But there is a huge plus: even from the back rows you can see absolutely everything that happens on the stage - from the gestures and facial expressions of the actors to the hole on the toe of the “young Capricorn”. To get a lot of positive emotions and a charge of vivacity for more than one day, it's still worth seeing this play. At least once.
