Stanislavsky

Generations of theater directors — starting with Konstantin Stanislavsky in its original Moscow run — had other ideas, preferring to render it as a somber tragedy.

Think of the Stanislavsky Method in acting, except this was the Limbaugh Method of acting out.

Swiss-born, with a Ukrainian mother, Fernandez, 24, was a soloist at the Stanislavsky and rising star of the ballet world when Russian President Vladimir Putin sent troops into Ukraine in late February.

After she moved to New York and abandoned acting for dance — “I was a washout in the Stanislavsky method,” she said — Rainer studied at the Graham school.

Jayne Taini deserves a Stanislavsky Award for her embodiment of Marina, the old nurse who lovingly attends to all these colicky adults.
