The first russian theatre that started to work with verbatim is situated in a small basement hidden in Trekhprudny lane. For 10 years of existance Theatre.doc increased the number of fans of the genre. Sometimes people literally sit on the floor here. Some plays by Theatre.doc are now played in big theaters or even cinema, some you can still find only here. For example, plays about Russian migrant workers (“Uzbek”, “Akyn-opera”) or Magnitsky's case. Theatre.doc made a community of playwrights, directors and actors who are interested in what is happening outside the stage and not afraid to talk about it. Sometimes going to such a theatre may be more effective than watching the news.
