The drama "War and Peace" is adapted from the literary masterpiece by Leo Tolstoy. In the nearly five-hour performance, it not only shows the rise and fall of a famous Russian family in the 19th century but also completely depicts the growth of the heroine Natasha from a lovely maiden to a woman with strength and braveness.
The play has received eight nominations for the "Golden Mask Award," the highest national theater award in Russia, and the "Special Jury Prize." The leading actors are famous, comprised of national artists of the Russian Federation, such as Lyudmila Maksakova and Irina Kupchenko.
