Moscow. A Red Army theatrical troupe
struggles to stage a politically
correct version of "JULIUS
CAESAR". One Actor drunkenly
imitates Stalin during rehearsal
and is promptly arrested and
shipped off to the Gulag. Until
a Russian movie director needs
a young 'Stalin' for
his next movie...
"You could call
Charles Wood a playwright,
a poet, and a painter. The playwright
speaks for himself on the stage and
on the screen; the poet is revealed
in the text through the repeated rhythms, the
hint of rhyme, the stylized translation of conversation,
and in the emergence of an idiosyncratic
and obsessional voice; the painter
is latent in the stage directions. John
Osborne has always been credited
with changing the course of drama
with Look
Back In Anger, but I would say that it
was Charles who has been responsible
for the theatrical revolution."
