3 October 2025Welcome to the 35th edition of our Russian-language podcast Then & Now with me, Teresa CherfasOur guest today is actor and theatre director Alexander Molochnikov.Alexander Molochnikov (personal archive)In this podcast we are making a break from our usual Russian-language format. This is because our guest has chosen not to speak in his mother tongue. At the age of just 22, he was the youngest director ever to stage a production at the legendary Moscow Arts Theatre. In 2022, aged 29, he had two productions running concurrently on two different stages of the Bolshoi Theatre – one a comic opera, the other a ballet based on Chekhov's Seagull, for which he won the Golden Mask award. Then on 24th February, 2022, Putin invaded Ukraine…His latest production, Seagull: True Story – a play that is so meta it has your head spinning – is currently on tour in London from New York. He has described it as his third Seagull, but only the second to fly.This podcast was recorded on 2 October 2025.[You can find on the Internet two recent Russian-language interviews Alexander Molochnikov has given to Yury Dud and Mikhail Zygar.]QuestionsThis podcast is about the time before and after the so-called Special Military Operation. What do you remember about the 24th of February 2022?You've described your current production in London – Seagull: True Story – as your third Seagull, but only the second to fly. What happened to the one that never took off?When did you decide you could no longer live in Russia?This is the first time we've done this podcast for Rights in Russia with a native Russian speaker in English. Is your decision not to speak Russian a political statement?What happened to your stage productions that were still in repertoire in Moscow after you left?Unlike many of your compatriots in the arts, you had a plan. What was that plan?You were a student at Columbia University in New York. What were your impressions of classes there?How did these experiences at Columbia inform the rehearsal process for your latest production: “Seagull: True Story”? How did you work with the actors to build the story and write the script?In Seagull: True Story, you make the point that the profit margin and commercial viability dictate what gets produced on stage in America and that that is every bit as restrictive on artistic expression as political censorship in Russia. What is your own personal experience of this in New York?I completely loved the theatricality of Seagull: True Story – it had an energy and a playfulness, using movement, mime, and props that made it an unmistakably theatrical experience. What is your experience of watching or taking part in theatre productions in the States, or indeed, London since you're here?There's a fantastic and surreal scene in it, where Putin, bare-chested on a horse appears to Kon, the director, in his dreams. And yet, there's no Trump anywhere and no overt mention of the parallels between Putin's Russia and Trump's America.Do you think such parallels can be drawn?Kon, your alter-ego, if you like, is desperate to go back to Russia, to visit his mum, to mourn the death of his close friend, who died in a penal colony for speaking out against the war, but he can't. It's actually a very moving scene. Do you wish you could go back to Russia for a visit?On the one year anniversary of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia, you posted on social media: “A year ago, at 6:30 a.m., I wrote: “Forgive us.” Today I know you won't forgive me. I'm 30, I plan to live another 50-70, and I believe I'll see the day when you will forgive me.” What makes you think that?What's up next for you after Seagull: True Story? Where do you see yourself, professionally, in 10 or 20 years?

Ceri explores the dynamic creative journey of Connal Orton, a versatile talent who's traversed theatre, television, and psychological thrillers. Connal shares his knowledge and personal experiences of creative leadership, embracing risk, and finding joy in the process. From directing plays to executive producing hit TV shows and now crafting gripping novels, Connal's story is a masterclass in adaptability and creative evolution. KEY TAKEAWAYS Embrace serendipity and be open to unexpected opportunities. Many of Connal's career-defining moments came from chance encounters and being willing to try new things. Creative leadership involves articulating the big picture while allowing team members the freedom to handle details, fostering a collaborative environment. Building a loyal audience is crucial. Try to focus on creating emotional connections rather than chasing numbers or trying to appeal to everyone. Feedback is essential, but timing is key, seek input at the right stages and from trusted sources to refine your work effectively. Authenticity in your creative voice and marketing approach can help you stand out and build a dedicated fan base. Playfulness and pushing boundaries can lead to innovative ideas; don't be afraid to be cheeky or irreverent in your work. Transitioning between creative fields can be advantageous, allowing you to apply skills and experiences in fresh ways. Surrounding yourself with talented people and fostering a supportive creative community can elevate your work and open new opportunities. BEST MOMENTS "I often think of the stuff on the wall as being like my sort of holiday photos, which is that they remind me a bit of my own kind of journey." "I want to write something that I think lots of people are going to read and I want those people to find it and love it." "Be your authentic self, if you're going to fail, fail on your own terms and at least believe in the stuff that you're making." "You can't make comedy without enjoying yourself. It's like you don't know whether a joke's funny unless you're laughing at it or not." "Your job very often is to articulate the big stages and let other people look after the detail." "I think what I've kind of learned is...you can be really risqué with things if you do it in the right way and with real confidence."

Jenny Sealey has been the artistic director of Graeae Theatre Company since 1997: Graeae is a deaf and disabled-led company and a leader and innovator in accessible theatre. Jenny has directed opera as well as plays, and was the co-director of the 2012 Paralympic opening ceremony. Jenny was born in Nottingham in 1963, the eldest of four sisters. She lost her hearing at the age of seven following a fall at school in which she banged her head. At that time, deaf children were not encouraged to use British Sign Language, and so she taught herself to lip read, and stayed in a mainstream school, although she often found it challenging. She also continued to take ballet lessons, helped by an inspirational teacher who encouraged her to follow the form and movements of the dancer in front of her. She went on to study dance and choreography at Middlesex Polytechnic.After graduation, Jenny worked as an actor before becoming the artistic director of Graeae. In 2022 she was awarded an OBE for services to disability arts. Most recently she returned to acting and toured the UK with Self Raising, her one-woman autobiographical play. Jenny lives in London with her son and partner. DISC ONE: Handel: Messiah, HWV 56, Pt. 2: No. 44, Chorus. Hallelujah, for the Lord God Omnipotent Reigneth.

How deep inner reflection translates into clear and energetic outer actions in the process of leading, is something Monica Lizabeth Sanborn portrays in an extremely unique way through this episode. The most unexpected combination of 5 objects that transformed Monica's way of leading through all her endeavours in life of teaching, directing, acting, are broken down into lessons that all of us can take a lot away from.

In this epsiode, Budi and Adam sit down with Eugene Ma to discuss his practice spanning many decades, and many countries and continents. Eugene Ma is a theatre director, actor and teacher with an inter-disciplinary background. Born in Toronto, brought up in Hong Kong and based primarily in New York - Eugene continues to perform, direct, and teacher internationally.Enchanted many years ago by the ingenuity of the Clown and virtuosic transformations in Commedia dell'Arte, Eugene embarked on and completed a two-year teaching apprenticeship with Christopher Bayes, making him one of a selected few "Bayes-certified" physical acting teachers in America. During the apprenticeship, Eugene served as Chris' teaching assistant and musical director for Clown and Commedia classes as well as student productions at Yale School of Drama, the Juilliard School as well as summer and corporate workshops, infusing more musicality into the curriculum as a tool to open up the actor's imagination and sensitivity.Eugene is currently on faculty at Columbia School of the Arts, where he teaches clown in the MFA Acting program.  Spring 2020 he will be teaching clown at Yale School of Drama, to the second year MFA actors.  Previous teaching engagements include workshops and classes at Yale's Undergraduate Theater Studies Program, Professional Performing Arts School (Arts High School) in Midtown Manhattan, St. Andrew's College in Canada.  He has also served as an advisor on several directing projects at New York University.Eugene is Resident Director at the Flea Theatre, developing works with the robust resident acting company under the mentorship of Artistic Director Niegel Smith. His acting credits include Theatre for a New Audience, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and Berkely Rep.Having been trained as a pianist (ABRSM Gr. 8), organist and composer at a young age at the Yamaha Music Foundation in Hong Kong, Eugene still recalls his first composition assignment being motific explorations inspired by a picture of a large zoo on the music stand as he captured the journey of zoo-going as well as channeling the essence of different animals. As a result of his very aural-based training, impulsively framing and supporting a story with relatable motifs -- not the most complex and intricate musical structures -- has always been the priority and strength in Eugene's musical work. At age 9, he was selected to represent Hong Kong to attend the Junior Original Accessible travel podcast Accessible travel podcasts are the place to be to listen to all things relative to...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showIf you enjoyed this week´s podcast, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts.
