About the book: 2017 / Yuri Polyakov is a famous Russian playwright, author of plays that are widely performed in our country and abroad. In 2015, the international theater festival “Smotriny” was sold out: fifteen theaters in Russia, near and far abroad brought performances based on Polyakov’s plays to Moscow and successfully showed them to the audience. “Gold of the Party” is a new comedy by the famous playwright, who always captivates reader and viewer with a twisted plot, acute social conflicts, bright characters, aphoristic language and witty dialogues. The book also includes articles and interviews on the problems of Russian theater.
