ABSTRACT
The Theatre’s output, play by play, during the period 1898-1917 gives an impression of both development and exploration. It also shows how responsibility was shared and how uncertain achievement and popular success could be. Either as actor and/or director Stanislavsky is associated with the Theatre’s major successes, but he was also responsible for many failed productions. In addition, Nemirovich-Danchenko contributed to successful productions such as Three Sisters and The Lower Depths as did Sanin, Luzhskiy and the two assistant directors.
