Description:Two days before the 1913 premiere of this Futurist play in verse, the original cast withdrew because rumors started to spread across Saint Petersburg that they would be pelted with garbage and beaten by the public. In fact, the audience did throw rotten eggs, shouting at 20-year-old Vladimir Mayakovsky (who played the leading role), “Stop him immediately!… Catch him!… He is not to get away!… Make him give us back our money!” According to actor Konstantin "Those were the times of turmoil, anxiety, dark forebodings. All of us instantly recognized in Mayakovsky a revolutionary, even if his hectic sermons to the human souls, mutilated by the vile city, sounded a bit muddled. It was an attempt at tearing off masks, revealing the sores of the society, sick beneath the veneer of respectability." Other theatrical events that season were barely noticed. “Who’s more insane, the Futurists or the public?” the Peterburgskaya Gazeta newspaper asked.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
