The perfume was named after her. Chocolates were named after her. She aroused the envy of women and the admiration of men. Her books were read to the gills. The Queen of Russian humor is what Nadezhda Teffi was called at the beginning of the 20th century. Her literary career was brilliant. She was wildly popular and discussed - a hooligan with an amazing sense of humor. She was loved both in Russia and in Paris. But in the fall of 1919, she boarded a ship and left her homeland forever... Our musical stand-up (reading with songs) is funny, stylish, and surprisingly modern stories by Teffi performed by Lara Isaeva, and French chanson, jazz, and Russian romances performed by Anna Grieg.
