Other events in Baltic States

Oskaras Korsunovas Theatre (OKT) has won two awards at the international theatre festival Baltic House that takes place in Saint Petersburg, informs LETA/ELTA.

Korsunovas' production Krapp's Last Tape won the Audience Choice Award, while the Seagull won the festival Critics' Award. Last year the theatre also received the Audience Choice Award for the production the Lower Depths.

This has been already the 24th Baltic House festival. It is the biggest theatre forum in Russia, each year introducing new productions of the most prominent European theatre directors. The 2014 programme featured 15 plays and more than 150 foreign guests.

Oskaras Korsunovas said that the audience in Saint Petersburg is intellectual and understands theatre, while the critics are hard to please. Therefore, the two awards are a very meaningful recognition, especially when other well-known directors took part.
