Biography
Soviet playwright Alexei Arbuzov told the "simple-minded theater". He sought to say from the stage to a man and humanity, which made his plays with spiritual and close viewers. Love for the world, optimism and the desire for the happy final were the principles of the writer, which he implemented in life and work.Childhood and youth
Alexey Nikolaevich was born 13 (26) May 1908 in Moscow. The revolution of 1917 did not destroy the life of the nobility family of Arbuzov, because they suffered collapse long before her. The Father, who previously held a diplomatic position and served in a bank, managed to go broke and left his wife with a child, returning to the first spouse.
Mother, although belonged to the landlord class, did not have the capital, and therefore they had to live with her son. They moved to Petrograd, where 8-year-old Alyosha began to receive education in the gymnasium, but soon they had to leave. The mother fell ill and died in 1919, leaving the boy orphan. Since then, the wanderings and the life of the tramp, which led Arbuzov to the colony for hard teenagers.
However, fate turned out to be favorable to the young man and revealed him from the criminal world, in exchange giving love to the theater. For the first time, seeing the performance of the newly formed BDT, Alexey caught fire and began to live the scene literally. And the young man tried to study in the theater ballet school, but because of the kindergarten injuries, his dance prospects were unimportant. At the age of 14, he settled in the Marijing, and later he received a student to Pavel Gaydeburov, who led the mobile theater. There, watermelons began to play on the plays, and at the age of 20 he decided to go into an independent swimming.
Personal life
Personal life of the playwright has been stormy. He first fell in love with his youth, having met the actress Lydia Mishin. Having lived together for 4 years and intersanded together from the troupe in the troupe, they ran away. And the watermens loved Tatyana Alekseevna Evteev, who worked in the theater. V. Meyerhold. Feelings did not prevent the age difference: the woman was older Alexei for 5 years. They got married, and in 1935 the daughter of Galya was born, subsequently became a film critic and screenwriter.However, this marriage came to the end after meeting the playwright with Anna Bogacheva. Young artist from the working and peasant family fascinated a man with livestivity and talent. She began to live with him, despite the fact that conservative parents condemned the choice of her daughter. It was difficult for them to understand the girl who preferred Zinovy Gerdta and Isai Kuznetsov a married man with a child.
After the marriage, Anna gave birth to two children, Varvaru and Kirill. A lot of joint photos have been preserved in the family archive.
Both of the heir to Arbuzov tied life with creativity. Varya married the director Savva Kulisha and took up with producing, and Cyril first tried himself in acting, and then became theater. Peru the Son owns two books about the biography of Alexei Nikolayevich - "Conversations with the Father" and "Other Civilization".
Memories alternate here with diary records and essays, shedding light on the creative workshop of the playwright. Kirill says that in childhood I had to endure the severity of the father, who sought to grow spartans from children, forcing in the morning to run and poured cold water. The son also remembers that he was angry with his father because of his mothers.
Having lived with Arbuzov 30 years old, the wife was tired to endure his novels with actresses that the whole country knew, and was filed for a divorce. She was also tormented because of his own unrealization, because he left a career for the sake of family. Their cottage in Peredelkino, equipped with her hands, was a welcoming house for a long time for writers, artists, directors and other creative friends. Children at first kept offense at the Father, but in the end they were able to understand his artistic "empty" nature and came up with him.
Creation
In the late 1920s, watermelons took an attempt to organize the "workshop of the experimental drama" and drove with like-minded people in the county cities in Agitwagon. The repertoire of the artists lacked, and therefore Alexey decided to write plays himself. The first experiments did not succeed, and the breakthrough became written in 1938 "Tanya", the premiere of which was held in the theater of the revolution. Since then, the work has put on scenes throughout the country, and the author has become in demand by theatrical playwright.
Together with Valentin Plekcom, a man organized a studio, which with the beginning of the Great Patriotic War became a front-line theater. He continued to replenish the bibliography with new texts, which became performances and acquired the adaptation, among them the Irkutsk History, the "old-fashioned comedy", "Tales of Old Arbat." The filmography of Arbuzova has a dozen works.
The plays of Alexey Nikolayevich turned out to be close to the viewer who needed consolation and a fairy tale. He was often accused of theatricality and detachment from social problems, but the author continued to bend his line and write a little naive, sentimental stories, to the center of which the spiritual experiences of the heroes were set.
"My poor Marat", "cruel games", "years of wanderings" look at the person lovingly and try to "explain, and not blame."
This bright look relates to the works of watermelon of spectators of any age, gender and nationality. And now, when the work of many Soviet authors is considered a remnant of socialism, these plays seem complete lives and sincerity.
Death
The playwright has lived 77 years old, in recent years of life, experiencing health problems that caused death that has come on April 20, 1986. Watermelons left, surrounded by folk love and recognition. His works became films and put on both in Soviet theaters and abroad, for which in the 1980s of the author awarded the USSR State Prize.Shortly before the death, the man still intended to visit the premiere of his play in the Theater named after the Mossoveta. Already understanding that he leaves, Alexey Nikolayevich bequeathed daughters to retain family connections, forgive loved ones and not throw them. And admitted to be very guilty of her mother.
