YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 8, NOYAN TAPAN. During the September 7
memory-party in the Writers' Union of Armenia (WUA), dedicated
to playwright Zhora Haroutiunian, the presentation of the "You
Came, Surprised, Went" collection of works was also held.
Memories of Zh.Haroutiunian's contemporaries, fellow-writers,
prominent directors and actors about the talented playwright are
involved in the book formed by Gayane Haroutiunian, the
playwright's daughter.
In WUA Chairman Levon Ananian's words, few generations were
brought up with Zh.Haroutiunian's dramaturgy. And, in his words,
it is not accidental that famous directors like Vardan Achemian
and Tatik Sarian staged his plays, and same Tatik Sarian,
Hrachia Nersisian, Mher Mkrtchian, Karp Khachvankian and others
gave scenic life to heroes created by him. But, as L.Ananian
mentioned, the greatest estimation for the playwright's work was
the people's love.
At the same time, WUA Chairman noticed with pain that
Zh.Haroutiunian's comedies and dramas are out of the repertoire
of theaters today. He expressed a hope that "in some time
producers will turn to Zh,Haroutiunian's works."
