Apartment of a lonely elderly man. He himself is untidy and the apartment is untidy. When the doorbell rings, the owner of the apartment jumps out of the toilet with Esmarch's mug in his hand. All this at first made an impression as an entreprise performance with “humor.” But at the very first dialogues, the depth of meaning and vitality of the situation became apparent. Jewish humor was perceived as part of the characters' lives, and not as popular jokes with added accent and inherent intonation.
I have always treated the acting works of Leonid Kanevsky equally. He never interested me or captivated me. And here he showed himself at full capacity. There was no artificiality in his performance; every word was spoken not just by the actor Kanevsky, but by Harry Bendiner, performed by Leonid Kanevsky. The hero’s unkemptness, the emptiness of his life, the lack of a happy future, which Harry is bitterly aware of and accepts without resistance or desire to change anything. True, when he learns about the departure of his only close person, and also Harry’s subordinate, to the Promised Land, he begins to get loudly nervous and tries to prevent Mark’s departure. The actor's performance does not take you away from the action on stage, makes you listen to every line, catch the slightest change in intonation, because it is interesting and professional.
I have never shared the admiration of critics for actor Daniil Spivakovsky. I saw him in different roles - in Frankenstein, in TV series. Unfortunately, I saw him on stage for the first time. In his film work, he did not inspire confidence in me - everything was somehow unnatural and lifeless. I didn't believe his heroes. And here is a completely different image - the image of a little man, a Jew who miraculously escaped from the Warsaw ghetto, a henpecked man whose only happiness is his wife and children, playing, as expected, on the violin. His hero Mark wears a cap and a vest buttoned up with all the buttons, which he conscientiously informs his wife about by telephone from Harry’s house. He knows everything about the life of his boss Harry Bendiner, and he, at one time, saved and took Mark out of the ghetto hell, so Spivakovsky’s hero sincerely worries about the fate and future life of Harry, because with the departure of Mark and his family from America, Harry remains completely alone in this life. In the dialogues of the characters one can feel warmth and pity, common memories, common tragedies. Mark condemns Harry for being reckless and promiscuous. The play quotes the Song of Songs. How beautiful and wonderful it is! Jewish music sounds, Chava Nagila, desperate dancing.
This is the first time I see Klara Novikova in the role of a dramatic actress. She is, of course, an average actress. Each replica contains the intonations of her reprises, Aunt Sonya and similar “classics”. But all these “acting discoveries and cliches” are not annoying, because the plot does not allow you to put on a boring face. She plays well, doesn’t act too comically, and listens to her fellow actors. She is elegant and graceful, dressed tastefully and very flexible. It’s a pleasure to see a woman, already a grandmother in real life, well-groomed and in excellent physical shape.
This performance is about kindness, human warmth, help, love. Each hero has his own tragedy in life, his own losses, disappointments and his own love, which he carries throughout his life. This love draws some people to live on, while others are carried away to the next world, because the power of love for someone who has already left this world leads a person to follow his other half. And life, and tears, and love...
Harry's wife leaves him four years before her death after learning about another betrayal. I knew before, but this time I couldn’t forgive and just left and died. And he still managed to be offended, did not come to the funeral and never visited the grave. Harry loved her in his own way, he loved her daughter and their common son, but the children died tragically early, leaving behind a grandson, a racing driver, who has the wind in his head, because he is a racing driver, and he doesn’t need a grandfather. Then suddenly a nice lady, a widow, a neighbor appears on the threshold of his sad apartment. She is looking for companionship because she is lonely after the death of her husband and the departure of her daughter (their daughters have the same name - also for a reason). A sincere feeling flares up between them after several hours of communication and drinking whiskey. And then a magical dinner by candlelight from the most delicious dishes of Jewish cuisine. Anyone who loves and knows how to cook will swallow saliva at the mention of mincemeat, sweet and sour roast with prunes and strudel! When people feel the warmth of each other’s soul, when they catch every word spoken by a loved one, they cannot breathe enough of communication - this is a real feeling that flares up suddenly, warming souls, enveloping hearts with joy and happiness.
Everything was so easy, funny and witty in the play at first. But a bitter moment also came. But the ending is still kind and bright. Life goes on. Who was able to survive after the departure of a loved one, and who asked to pray for himself in this world, and he asked to pray for those left in the next. And the cheerful dance to the accompaniment of “Hava Nagila” is so organically integrated into the action that it does not look like a pop number.
If you want to see love, rejoice at happiness, smile at goodness, then be sure to watch Valery Mukharyamov’s play “Late Love” directed by Evgeniy Arie. But love never comes late, it is always young, because it comes to good hearts, making people happy, and this feeling punishes, humiliates and destroys vile people.

Hawa nagila, hava nagila, hava nagila venismeha!
Let's rejoice, let's rejoice, let's rejoice and rejoice!

Ostrovsky's play “Late Love” is probably known to every schoolchild. But in Yegor Peregudov’s interpretation it turned out to be very unexpected. The production turned out to be both sad and funny, light and wise, a little ironic and subtle.

About the play “Late Love”

At the center of the play “Late Love” is the question - what price is a person willing to pay for happiness when it seems to be very close? Give up principles? Sacrifice your life, both your own and that of others? Give away the last? Each of the heroes decides for himself - what is the boundary of morality, where is the line between “possible” and “impossible”, is it worth crossing it and will it really bring that same happiness?
