Academic Theater of Drama. M. Gorky, Rostov-on-Don
The history of the Rostov Theater. M. Gorky began in June 1863, when the stationary troupe of the theater gave its first performance. For the years of existence, the drama theater scene saw many stars of first Soviet and then Russian art - great Rostislav Plyatt and Vera Maretskaya shone on the stage here, Yuri Zavadsky and Kirill Serebrennikov staged performances.
Separately it is worth mentioning the unusual building of the theater, which has the form of a tractor, as a symbol of the greatness of agricultural machinery in Rostov-on-Don. The theater found its building in 1935 and successfully worked until 1943, when it was blown up by the retreating Germans. In 1963, the building of the theater was restored, however, a little diminished in size. Because of the unusual shape, the people dubbed the Gorky Theater in Rostov-on-Don a "tractor".
