Fyodor Fyodorovich Komissarzhevsky (23 May 1882 - 17 April 1954) or Theodore Komisarjevsky, as he is better known in the West, was a leading Russian theatrical director and designer of the 20th century, particularly notable for his groundbreaking productions of plays by Chekhov and Shakespeare. Born in Venice, Komisarjevsky was born into theatre, as his father Fyodor Petrovich Komissarzhevsky was a high-profile opera singer who befriended Tchaikovsky, and as his sister, Vera Komissarzhevskaya, was a pre-eminent Russian actress of her generation. Originally interested in architecture, Komisarjevsky turned to theatre in 1907, when he started staging plays in his sister's theatre. Two years later he joined the theatrical revolutionary Nikolai Yevreinov in establishing a new stage company whose productions were intended to combine philosophy and romance. Interested in the idea of art synthesis, Komisarjevsky dreamed about the "theatre of all the arts".
