Premiere poster for Saksahansky's Othello

... that although Panas Saksahansky's production of Othello (poster pictured) served as the basis for later performances throughout the Soviet Union, the original has been lost?

Toronto, Buffalo, London: University of Toronto Press. pp. 5, 128. ISBN 0-8020-8849-X. LCCN 2005270104. 'Saksahansky's old-fashioned production was mythologized in a rewritten theatre history as the correct, 'realistic' model for staging the classics both in Ukraine and throughout the Soviet Union.' (p. 5)"
"'Unfortunately, where Oles's work is needed most — a complete reconstruction of the staging of the play — is where he abandons the task as too detailed for all but the specialist.' (p. 127)

@Mupper-san:, I'm not reading that the original was lost out of the quotations that you've provided. Are there any quotes from other sections of the text which make it clear? TarnishedPath^talk 14:55, 15 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@TarnishedPath: Terribly sorry for the long time for the response. There's another page which mentions the existence of "extant" records of the staging, but given this isn't exactly clear, I've added an ALT hook. Don't hesitate to let me know if there's any more problems, I should be more free to respond in the coming days. Mupper-san (talk) 19:39, 18 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1 doesn't really require a new approval as it doesn't assert anything beyond what was already asserted in ALT0, but to remove any doubt I'll place this mark,

approval for ALT1 only. TarnishedPath^talk 00:31, 19 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
