Vs. Meyerhold is the figure with whom the countdown of the new theatrical era begins. Forty years of his creative activity were spent in indomitable search. The audience couldn't keep up with the rapid flight of his ideas, and critics argued endlessly: for some, he was a brilliant visionary, for others, an audacious subverter of traditions. This book is a fascinating story about how the Master's innovative ideas were embodied and what an amazing impression his performances made. Renowned theater critic K. L. Rudnitsky reconstructs legendary productions in detail, revealing the secrets of Meyerhold's directorial method. The publication is an abridged version of the fundamental monograph "Director Meyerhold" (series "Life in Art", 1981) and highlights the key moments of the creative path of the great reformer of the stage.
