Daniil Spivakovsky and Olga Prokofieva in the comedy "Adult Games"
Six people receive an invitation from a stranger for dinner at an elegant Parisian restaurant. The evening promises to be exquisite: beautiful table settings, pleasant conversation, and anticipation of an unusual encounter. But as soon as the guests gather around the table, it becomes clear: they were invited for a reason. Once, they were three married couples...
Someone invisible and clearly well-informed has gathered them together to meet face to face once again. Initially, this incites shock, irritation, and a series of witty exchanges. Then come mutual accusations, painful memories, and attempts to understand why their relationships once fell apart. And then the most interesting part begins: can these adult, intelligent, hurt, yet still caring people hear each other anew?
The audience will have the opportunity to witness a sophisticated, daring, and ruthlessly funny game where former feelings clash with pride, old grievances with unexpected tenderness, and each dialogue turns into a small duel with brilliant lines, recognizable situations, and a sharp aftertaste.
"Adult Games" — a comedy based on Neil Simon's play "The Dinner Party," was staged on Broadway at the Music Box Theatre and lasted for 364 performances. This is late Neil Simon — witty, elegant, ironic, but already more mature and lyrical: he is interested not only in funny situations but also in what happens to people after love, after grievances, and after attempts to start life anew.
A bright highlight of the production is the cast. Special attention is drawn to the duo of Daniil Spivakovsky and Olga Prokofieva: both actors have strong theatrical backgrounds, recognizable individuality, and a precise sense of comedic rhythm. In their performance, the story gains not only lightness but also emotional depth: the characters are funny, vulnerable, and very recognizable.
The cast includes: Daniil Spivakovsky, Olga Prokofieva, Daria Feklenko, Evgeny Paramonov, Maria Boltneva, Viktor Zaporozhskiy.
The director of the production: Sergey Artsibashev.

About the Actors
Daniil Spivakovsky is a theater and film actor, a graduate of GITIS, an artist with a rare combination of comedic plasticity, internal tension, and psychological precision. By first education, he is connected with psychology: he studied at the Faculty of Psychology at Moscow University, and perhaps that is why his stage characters are not only vibrant but internally dissected, multilayered, and alive. Audiences recognize him from films and series like "My Stepbrother Frankenstein," "My Husband is a Genius," "The Gourmet Case No. 1," "Ranevskaya," and other projects. The Israeli audience is already familiar with him from numerous touring performances and programs, the main and most beloved of which is "Late Love," which consistently sells out. His characters are memorable not for their external effectiveness but for the precision of existence: they always have nerve, irony, and living human vulnerability.
