Vremya T Theatre Festival in Spasskoye-Lutovinovo
Spasskoye-Lutovinovo, Ivan Turgenev's ancestral estate in the Oryol region, hosts the Vremya T theater festival each summer, staging works by Ostrovsky, Chekhov, Leskov, Vysotsky and Turgenev himself. Participating companies range from Oryol State University's troupe and regional youth theaters to Moscow's Vakhtangov Theater, with recent editions floating a proposal for a resident playwrights' laboratory on the estate grounds.
Turgenev's country estate turns into a working stage each summer for Vremya T, a theater festival hosted at the Spasskoye-Lutovinovo museum-reserve, the writer's ancestral home in the Oryol region.
