Moscow Art Theatre




The theatre quickly became famous when it staged productions of Anton Chekhov 's four major works, beginning with The Seagull . During the Soviet era, the Moscow Art Theatre received much state support, in exchange for producing socialist drama.

The Moscow Art Theatre is still in existence today, with a Seagull as its mascot. It has been run by Oleg Tabakov since 2000 . The theatre is located just off Tverskaya ulitsa, only a few blocks northwest of Red Square.
