Russia’s most celebrated living director on Sunday parted company with the theatre he has led for almost a half century, accusing its actors of only being interested in money.
Yuri Lyubimov, 93, who founded Moscow’s Taganka Theatre in 1964, fell out with the acting troupe in a dispute over pay while on tour in the Czech Republic and said he had no intention of working with them any more.
“I confirm I have taken my final decision — to leave the theatre,” the director declared to the RIA Novosti news agency late on Saturday.
“I have no intention of working with this troupe. Let them be led by their trade union. I’ve had enough of this disgrace, these humiliations, this lack of desire to work, this desire just for money.”
