There is a research of Mykola Merzlikin director’s method in the article. It is based on "One hundred thousand" play staged in 1968. The play was one of Merzlikin’s earliest performances and one of the most important events in Ukrainian theatre life in the late 1960s, according to those times and contemporary critics. "One hundred thousand" is a classical play. However, it became an experimental field in plastic and scenography, acting and character interpretation for the yang stage director.
