Well I watched Tsuladze’s “The Lady With The Dog” yesterday at Jerusalem’s theater. it was a marvelous piece indeed. most recommended to anyone, and I mean seriously anyone. the way the puppeteers control their art, the way the actors perform, is simply breathtaking. the way Tsuladze decided to bring us the scenes of the story are both comical and heartbreaking in the same time, the puppets contribute so much to the production and transfixing you to the chairs, as they are truly alive, while the actors are very talented and reach deep into your well of hidden emotions, which I usually find hard to point out I felt them.

Thanks again. I just googled, you know. but now I will follow your blog.
Have you ever been to Georgia, to Tbilisi? Do you know their cinema, with its long tradition? Their painting (especially Pirosmani)? And the music, and the cuisine? It is all a must.
At my first time in London – some 15 years ago – i spent most of my money on theater shows, on those days it was not expensive, and British theater is the best, I believe.

Thanks for your comment. I’ve also recently seen Levan’s La Ronde at the Arcola in London, which was true to what I perceive as his ’style’, and overall very enjoyable.
Just out of curiosity: how did you find out about my Georgian reviews?

Thanks, most interesting. I’ve just interviewed Tsuladze over the phone for the Jerusalem Post, since he comes with his new production to the Jerusalem Festival soon. And although I’ve got some video fragments, your review is of great help for me,

Thanks for this series of reviews; a great reminder of a packed stay in Tbilisi. The full production of The Lady With The Dog is scheduled to be complete by the end of February – worth gpoing back for.
