The play is designed for one male role and eight female roles. But with a modest cast of the theater, this play can be staged with one hero and three heroines who will combine the basic roles of Alyona, Angela, Zoya, as well as distribute the episodic roles of other heroines among themselves. Thus, this production can be implemented with the number of actors 4,5,6,7,8 and 9 people. Scenes of extras can, if necessary, be played on a projector or something else. The most ideal option is 9 actors + extras 10-15 people, possibly with children. But this is at the discretion of the director and according to the possibilities of the theater.
Scene 1. The seller of striped sticks.
It sounds positive-an incendiary musical composition.
The light flickers.
It turns out to be a stupefyingly happy traffic cop. He's wearing headphones and with his eyes closed with pleasure. It turns out, dancing, traditionally, as usual, twisting his striped wand on a string. He himself is in full dress (a traffic police inspector's suit, a cap, everything is as it should be).
He diverges in the dance so that his clumsy but diligent movements cause a blissful smile from everyone who can only contemplate it.
The traffic cop turns his back (to the viewer), performs quite busy pritops – dancing. At this point, the flickering of the light stops, and then the music stops.
But our traffic cop is still burning out.
The noise of the city begins to sound, the roar of cars passing by.
The crowd begins its march, which dynamically appears from different ends of the backstage.
