В этот сборник вошли две пьесы: "Интуиция" - написанные вместе с Константином Хабенским монологи умерших людей, которые делятся своими переживаниями об ошибках последнего прожитого ими дня земной жизни, и "Burnt in the USSR" (Сожженные в СССР) - собранное из известных рассказов Цыпкина трагикомическое переплетение судеб одноклассников 1970-го года рождения - поколения, взрослевшего под руинами СССР • "Сначала мы сочиняли Интуицию как фантазию для киноэкранов, но со временем оказалось, что она очень точно и прозрачно слилась с театральными подмостками и нашла мощный отклик именно в театральном зрительном зале. Возможно из-за того, что именно в театре человек останавливается, фиксируется во времени и пространстве и задумывается, наконец, о себе" • Константин Хабенский

He can run prime numbers in his head, cannot imagine a life without women and yet jumps out of bed on his wedding night to jot down a mathematical formula
