A virtuoso, effervescent performance of "Too Married Taxi Driver" based on the most "long-playing" - more than 9 years in the repertoire of the London West End - a play by the English playwright Ray Cooney. A merry commotion of situation comedy, a farce of ambiguous situations, intricacies of events and anecdotal dialogues in juicy circumstances.

The protagonist John Smith is the main adventurer, the spring and the victim of intrigue, the taxi driver is a bigamist: with one of his wives, Mary, he registered the marriage at the city hall, with the other, Barbara, he got married in the church. Wives, unaware that they have one common husband, live on opposite streets four minutes from each other if you use a taxi.

For the first time, Alexander Shirvindt staged the play “Too Married Taxi Driver” on the stage of the Satire Theater ten years ago. Then theatrical critics noted in their notes that they rarely had to see such a loudly laughing hall. It was an absolute success. Ten years later, this performance is also popular and regularly attracts full houses. The story that unfolds on the stage tells of a simple London taxi driver with an ordinary name, John Smith.

At first, John appears before the public in the form of a conscientious worker and an exemplary family man. Nobility and compassion are not even alien to him: he stands up for a helpless old woman in front of hooligans. For which, ironically, he gets hit on the head by a cunning pensioner and ends up in the hospital. It is from this moment that the most interesting begins, since the victim reports two completely different places of his residence to the doctors and the police. It soon becomes clear that there is no error here. A London taxi driver turns out to be a bigamist who has been living a double life for many years, deftly maneuvering between his two wives.

Who is suitable for

For adults, theater and comedy lovers.

The plot of the play Too Married Taxi Driver begins with a banal accident. A typical person with a common name, John Smith (an analogue of the Russian name Ivan Kuznetsov), beats off an old woman from hooligans, who thanked him with a strong blow of a bag on the head. Once in the hospital, the hero randomly indicates two addresses of his residence. At the same time, both women living at the indicated addresses report the disappearance of her husband John Smith, who works as a taxi driver, to the police. Indeed, John Smith is a bigamist. Only with one he got married in the nearest church, and with another woman he officially signed. And they live next to each other. So the main character faced the task not to get confused and not to spill the beans. John Smith, in his assistant - a notebook, made a coded schedule of family visits. There were no problems with providing them, everyone was working people. One of the wives meets her husband from the day shift, and the other waits with a difficult night. Yes, but no one knows about it until the end of the final. Both parties involved, together with the police, are investigating this complicated case.

The carousel of dizzying events is famously twisted to the point of absurdity of situations. This is facilitated by a single space of events, when the living conditions of different wives, embodied by the artist G. Jungvald, are simultaneously visible. The different corporate atmosphere of each hostess and at the same time the same spirit of the standard of family life is comical to the point of improbability. Their everyday habits, actions and words are banal and individual at the same time. Add here simultaneous actions, conversations and thoughts that mutually exclude these directions against the backdrop of monstrous lies. The effect of unreal reality is colossal.

An excerpt from the play

Performance Too Married Taxi Driver theater of satire. After reading the title of this performance of the Theater of Satire, you probably thought that a stylistic mistake had crept into it. By linguistic rules, you can't be "a little married," "well married," or, as the play's author Ray Cooney argues, "too married." In language - no, but in life, it turns out, you can.

This production by Alexander Shirvindt was especially fond of the audience, because the performance was created in one of the most popular stage and “cine” genres today: sitcom, or situation comedy. The story of the protagonist does not make theater-goers think about life values ​​and does not raise deep philosophical problems: it looks like one big anecdote, the hero of which is an ordinary person.

London taxi driver Joe Smith, if we consider his life from the point of view of the Criminal Code, the very place in prison. He is bisexual. His wives are women diametrically opposed in character and habits. The first is extravagant, sensual, sexually attractive - in general, the dream of any man. The second is a stern, practical and quarrelsome lady, who has long eaten baldness not only to Joe himself, but also to his neighbors. Of course, neither the first nor the second wife even realizes that she has a rival. So the hardest thing in this situation is poor Smith: she is forced to rush between two family hearths and two women, dividing her life into two equal halves.

And everything would be fine, because a person gets used to not such inconveniences. Yes, His Majesty intervenes Chance - in the face of an old woman who uses her purse as a weapon and, with all her strength, hits Joe on the top of her head. The taxi driver ends up in the hospital, where he miraculously avoids publicity and the inevitable meeting of his two halves. However, the police are keenly interested in his person, and throughout the rest of the performance, the hero has to make titanic efforts to keep the secret. But the secret, as you know, inexorably becomes clear. And so it happens, and, ironically, both spouses and the police are the last to know.

Why are sitcoms so popular? Probably because in our generally gloomy and busy life, it is much easier to be puzzled by something than to laugh sincerely at something. The task of the comedian is much more difficult than that of the tragic. But laughter is very important - scientists have proven that it increases life expectancy. And watching a person who is currently much worse than us has truly healing properties. Alexander Shirvindt is a wonderful comedian and no less talented director of comic genre plays. Book tickets for "Too Married Taxi Driver" - and you will see for yourself.
