Это – новогодняя комедия-сказка. Невероятно веселая и очень добрая. Хотя ее посещают вампиры и даже призраки, она совершенно не страшная.

Героине с прекрасным именем Елена в новогоднюю ночь предстоит пройти нелегкие испытания, чудесным образом получить Сокровище и встретить настоящую любовь. В этой истории, пожалуй, нет ни одного категорически кровожадного злодея. А девушка, чистая сердцем, победит и грабителей, и злые чары… Итак. Москва. На заснеженной автобусной остановке ветер треплет разрезные полоски объявления. Девушка ежится от холода, прикрывает нос яркой варежкой, читает: "Требуется бесстрашный и чистый сердцем человек на работу сменной продавщицей. Опыт работы не обязателен. Вознаграждение практически гарантировано." Внимательно перечитав дважды, она решительно отрывает объявление целиком…

The play is a compositional study based on a story by Boris Vakhtin. The desire to introduce the audience to the poetic world of Vakhtin's prose and to find an atmosphere reminiscent of the author led the creators to use the form of studies, stage sketches that are extremely conventional and open to the audience's perception. The search for intonation and the fine line between conventionality and authenticity of experience were central to this work.
