Premiere. Director Ivars Lūsis has staged a comedy by the contemporary English playwright Peter Quilter in the Daugavpils theater Captive of the snow. Yuliya Liha will play together with Ivara Lusi in the show. Captive of the Snow is a touching story about two opposites who were trapped under the same roof by the elements of nature and perhaps also by someone’s conscious intention. Director Ivars Lusi can be called the master of comedies of the Daugavpils Theater: many of his productions (The scary housewives, Love to the point of losing your mind, Business class room, Lie detector, Psychic battle and Love in 32 square meters) enjoys the love of the audience and a long stage life – up to eight years.
