I believe - I do not believe

Of course, the situation of adultery is always dramatic and even tragic. But, despite all this, screenwriters always pay special attention to her, because thanks to such situations very relevant plays are written.

Here is the play “A Trap for a Husband”, reviews of which, as we already know, are very ambiguous, is based on the same notorious betrayal. Indeed, it was not very pleasant for the wife to discover an unknown young lady next to her husband. But she has the courage not to expel both the husband and the girl. Nicole is a smart and experienced woman, she does not give in to the first impulse. Therefore, the viewer, even very attentive, almost before the end of the performance can not figure out: she believed her husband’s words, how much she believed, or, perhaps, only pretends to believe.

From city to city, from country to country ...

Indeed, the performance “Trap for the husband” turned out to be very ambiguous. His tour took place in many cities - in St. Petersburg, Voronezh, Tallinn ... And each time the audience received a huge charge of vivacity and good mood. And in a different way, it cannot be: the actors who embody the main characters on the stage have been known for a long time, they love faithfully, they admire without ceasing. Therefore, it often happens that when you choose a performance, you go not to a specific premiere, for example, but to adored artists.

With this performance, everything happened exactly the same. From the very beginning, the audience went “to Dobronravova, Vasilyeva and Safonova”, because they were sure that where they were participating, there would be a fascinating spectacular performance. But literally after several premieres, the situation changed a little. Now the audience was going to the performance itself: it’s interesting to watch a non-standard comedy played by those who are so often shown on television and who can be considered almost family members.

From rehearsals to premieres

The cast of the play spoke for itself from the first to the last minute of the artists on stage. The public of any city is pleased to see so many stars on one stage. And the production itself is a pretty beautiful and well-coordinated work. Even the uninitiated and inexperienced audience very quickly becomes aware that the result that they see after the third call is preceded by the titanic work of the actors.

It is very difficult to give preference to anyone alone - they are all beautiful in their own way, each in its own hypostasis. And you fall in love with them almost instantly, from the first couple of replicas.

For more than two hours, the play “A Trap for a Husband”, reviews of which are very eloquent, manages to penetrate the hearts and minds of viewers. Yes, it is very light, a little vulgar, the plot line is pretty famously twisted in it. It fully meets all the needs of the modern public visiting these walls. And he really will be the best pastime after a hard day's work. After all, from the very beginning it seems that everything is clear in the very first minutes: the wife comes from a business trip and finds her husband with a young special one. And here all the fun begins. A husband cannot act as an honest man, and does not tell his wife the whole truth. Viewers think that the offended and very unhappy woman will remain in the cold. But it does not end as intended. It is the spouse who turns out to be smarter and wiser than the other heroes of the current situation. After all, it is she who adjusts her so that she can easily take the disgusting hubby out of the house. Everything is simple and ingenious, right?

Happy viewing!

And even if it seems that the text is a bit “vulgar”, and such actors lose themselves in such a simple plot, a good mood is guaranteed. If you don’t take everything that happens on stage to heart, but consider it as a single story, then for sure in two actions you can not just relax. You can have time with a slight irony to sympathize with Laurent and quite naturally and sincerely - Nicole. You can laugh at the cues of a Russian mother from the heart and smile at the sight of how the young beauty is trying to pose as a daughter. Probably, to some extent, those thoughts that arise in the minds of the audience while watching this performance are instructive: the men are glad that they are not in the place of the main character, but the women are simply delighted with the patience and wisdom of his wife.

In any case, if spectators still go to this performance, it means that it is in demand, it is successful, it was created not in vain!
