Victor Olshansky is a famous Russian playwright and screenwriter, member of the Writer’s Union, Cineast Union and Theater Union. His plays for children and teenagers are popular oll over-Russia and can be seen in many theaters. Victor Olshansky also participated in creating various TV shows and movies. The performance on his play “There will be no winter” stays in Saratov Youth Theater repertoire for many years and still is one  of the most popular performances in the theater that is liked by spectators of all ages. This performance appeared in the theater’s repertoire as a result of the creative laboratory “The Forth Height. Contemporary drama for children”.

Victor Olshansky’s play “Serenkiy K…” was staged by theater’s artistic director, RF People’s actor Yury Osherov. His productions in the theaters are the base of the theater’s classic repertoire that are the symbol of our theater – “The Little Witch Baba Yaga” by Otfrid Preussler,  “The Little Prince” by Antuan de Sent Exupery, Wilhelm Hauff’s “The Cold Heart”, Ershov’s tale “The Humpbacked Horse” (in Prokofieva’s and Sapgir’s interpretation), “The Boyhood” (a play by Rozov, based on Dostoyevsky’s “The Brothers Karamazov”), “Thumbelina” by Hans Christian Andersen and the others.

“Serenkiy K…” tells a classical Russian story of the Little Grey Billy-Goat (Serenkiy Kozlik) in a new manner – the Billy-Goat not only goes to visit wolves by himself but manages to leave everyone in total disarray. It begins like in was in a classic tale: Once upon the Grey Billy Goat lived at the Grandmother’s house and she loved the Billy-Goat dearly and thus most of all things kept him away from the tragic ending of the tale (only horns and hoofs were left from him). And the Billy-Goat loved… not the cabbage and carrots but the night hunting and real adventures. He didn’t want to repeat the fate of the Goat in the tale and unaware of the tale’s ending decides to visit the Wolf and his family to know the truth.

Saratov Kiselev Youth Theater invites the children and their parents to discover what happened to the Little Grey Billy-Goat, the Grandmother, the Wolf’s family and other characters of this unusual fairy tale about finding one’s place in life.
