Almost all plays by V. Rozov were put on the stage of Saratov Kiselev Youth Theatre. The play “They are For Ever and Aye Alive” was firstly staged by Y.P. Kiselev in 1964. Most of the audience is familiar with the play by virtue of the legendary movie “The Cranes Are Flying”. The Sovremennik theatre was opened with the “They are For Ever and Aye Alive” performance and it stayed in the repertoire of the theatre for more than 30 years.

Our performance is not only about war taking place in the front line, but also about war in human soul, about love and hate, friendship and betrayal, villainy and fidelity… About one’s duty to Motherland and our personal moral duties, about family, about Home, where someone is always waiting for you no matter what. About people who gave their lives for us, for our Tomorrow. There are no heroic battle scenes in the performance; war itself is in the ruined and warped fates of the characters, their personality and relations.
