On 17 November, Kachalov Bolshoi Drama Theatre had a premiere – William Shakespeare's
The Taming of the Shrew. Saint Petersburg director Igor Konyaev staged the plot of the classical comedy as a theatre performance within the play where everything is a merry and loud game, where there is a lot of music and naughtiness. Elena Ryashina (Katharina) and Ilya Slavutsky (Petruccio) played major roles.
