Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Curiosity Worth a Try
I concur with the previous reviewers. The stage direction is a mess, way too busy and most of the time, at least for me, unintelligible. Shortly into the first act you'll realize you have no idea what just happened, or what is happening, or where it is exactly they are supposed to be, the stage of the tiny theater suddenly filled with characters and you're not sure who is what and why.

Cameras were there to capture the event and this is the result. The plot is loosely based on actual history: Peter the Great disguises himself as a commoner so he can work as a carpenter in the shipyard which is building his new Russian ... Read More
