Actors - Mikhail Shchepkin


Mikhail Semyonovich Shchepkin (1788-1863) was the most famous Russian actor of the 19th century.

As his father was a serf, Shchepkin's freedom had to be bought by his admirers in 1821. Three years later, he joined the Malyi Theatre in Moscow, which he would dominate for the next 40 years. Schepkin was the first to play Famusov in the Wit Works Woe (1831) and the Mayor in The Inspector General (1836). His acting was acclaimed by Alexander Pushkin, Nikolai Gogol, Alexander Herzen, and Ivan Turgenev for its subtlety, with much attention given to realistic detail and understatement.
