The play "Megers" in Porto 18 October 2026
An explosive comedy about two Hollywood stars who aren't ready to leave the stage—and are making a comeback in a big way!
People’s Artist of Ukraine Oleksiy Vertynskyi and Artem Yemtsov —in a brilliant on-stage showdown!
Two legendary actresses, stars of Hollywood’s golden age, get a chance to return to the stage. But it won’t be a peaceful comeback: each dreams of outshining the other, getting her revenge, and proving who the real queen of the stage is.
Meet Ruth and Mildred. In the ’60s, their names were on everyone’s lips in Hollywood. And now they’re back… in a horror movie. But instead of acting prowess, a real battle for attention and fame unfolds on set. Everything is fair game: barbs, sarcasm, and dazzling looks. One moment the rival is a dead beaver, the next an old cobblestone, and then a crooked mask from an ancient tragedy.
Audiences are in for a fireworks display of witty dialogue and acting energy!
"Shrews" is:
- A genuine acting showdown under the spotlights
- Witty dialogue, subtle humor, and self-deprecating humor
- Backstage intrigues, emotional depth, and an attempt to rediscover oneself
It’s a comedy of characters, ambitions, and fame that will bring you genuine laughter and unforgettable memories.
On stage—an explosive duo: Oleksiy Vertynskyi and Artem Yemtsov.
