  Russian Theatre (Masha Kipp)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Russian Theatre at KU In November 1998 Veniamin Smekhov, a prominent Russian stage and screen actor and director, as well as author, visited KU to teach a Master Class in directing and a workshop for student-actors at KU Department of Theatre and Film.
Veniamin Smekhov had the privilege to know Nikolai Erdman and to work with him: Erdman was an admirer and supporter of the then young Taganka Theatre, the most avant-garde Russian theatre of the 1960s—1970s.
Smekhov’s production and Aksenova’s course were important events for KU Slavic Department, Russian and East-European Center, Department of Theatre and Film, as well as for the university and the community at large.

 KU theatre to stage Erdman comedy 'The Suicide'
Smekhov said Erdman's comedy has become one of the classics of world drama because it is so funny and relevant to people in any country..
Smekhov said for its time and place, "The Suicide" was a brave, outspoken play, but it is hard to understand now why the play was considered so politically "hot," both in the Soviet Union and in the West, since it is not really a direct political attack on either the Soviet or the tsarist regime.
Smekhov said the KU production blends various genres and arts including comedy, tragedy and farce, as well as ballet, circus and even visual arts.
