The play "Crazy Swindlers" in Europe

This is a unique opportunity to meet in person with renowned Ukrainian theater and film actors: Nazar Zadniprovsky, Les Zadniprovsky, Olena Olar, Lesya Samayeva, and Valery Astakhov. Audiences know them from the theater stage, TV shows, and movies—but this evening they’ll see them in a live comedy where every gesture, glance, and reaction is designed to make the audience laugh right there in the theater.

“Crazy Swindlers” is a modern Ukrainian adventure comedy about cunning schemes, disguises, misunderstandings, and situations that spiral out of control. It all starts as a plan, but very quickly turns into a chain of unexpected twists and turns. The five protagonists play a game of one-upmanship, trying to outwit one another—and getting increasingly entangled in their own scheme.

Audiences can expect vivid characters, sharp humor, a breakneck pace, lively facial expressions, comedic gestures, and that very energy that simply can’t be conveyed on screen. This is a performance where laughter is born right here and now—through the artists’ direct interaction with the audience.

“FIVE FACES • ONE ADVENTURE” is the guiding principle of this event. On stage are performers beloved by millions of Ukrainian audiences. In the theater, you’ll have the chance to see them all together, live, in Prague.

“Crazy Scammers” is an evening best spent with friends, family, or a loved one: lighthearted, boisterous, and hilariously Ukrainian. Better than the movies—because this time, it’s all happening right in front of you.
