McDonagh won an Oscar for his short film ‘Six Shooter’ and also directed and wrote the black comedy features ‘In Bruges’ and ‘Seven Psychopaths’. He was also am executive producer on ‘The Guard’. McDonagh will visit the event as an honorary guest.

“We are proud to have discovered this author for Russia when we staged McDonagh’s ‘The Lonesome West’,” stated Sergei Fedotov, head of the local theater U Mosta and the festival’s president, as quoted by the Russian news agency RIA Novosti.

“There have been more than 120 stagings of plays by the Irish playwright in Russia by now,” he continued, “but we are the only theatre in the world that has staged all of his seven plays.”

The festival also will feature seminars, masterclasses and lectures by well-known directors and a presentation of the Russian translation of ‘The Theatre and Films of Martin McDonagh’ by Patrick Lonergan.
