Yevgeni Grishkovetz is a popular Russian writer, dramatist, stage director, and actor. Once he was a sailor. Nowadays he is called “a one man theatre”, and “a one man band”: he is widely known as the author of witty soliloquy plays, which he stages and performs himself. For a surprisingly short period (just about three or four years) Grishkovetz managed to rise from a provincial film director known only in close theatre circles to a crowd-puller praised by mass media and distinguished by juries of the most prestigious awards.
