The play "Incomparable" (2005) by contemporary English playwright Peter Quilter, like most of the author's works, is dedicated to art, which is capable of creating miracles, fantastically influencing people, enchanting, captivating, revealing in everyone the talent of goodness, light, sincerity, and beauty.
The story centers on the true story of an extraordinary personality of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Florence Foster Jenkins (1868–1944). "The American pianist and singer (soprano) was one of the earliest representatives of "outsider music," who became famous for her complete lack of musical ear, sense of rhythm, and vocal talent. Despite this, she considered herself an unsurpassed vocalist..." (material from Wikipedia).
Was her desire to sing really so desperate that she performed on numerous stages in America at her own expense, or perhaps Florence possessed some incomprehensible fluids, or did she possess a magnetism that enchanted the audience, forcing them to listen again and again to the strange rolls of her voice, to plunge into the obsession of a nature that swept away the canons of scores and soared freely between the notes? One way or another, but this woman was a fantastic, incomprehensible, incomparable - an Actress.
It is no coincidence that in the first five years the play was translated into 15 languages and staged in 22 countries around the world.
Based on Peter Quilter's play "Incomparable", Anatoliy Hostikoev as a director and actor and Natalia Sumskaya as an actress build an ideal world in which there is no evil, envy, grief, all those troubles that accompany a person throughout life. Here music reigns, the beauty of the fantastic world of theater and the incredible, ideal unity of human souls.

Initially, the theater was operating in Kyiv, where the first performance of Volodymyr Vinnichenko's play "The Nailed" took place in 1917. Subsequently, the group traveled with performances in Ukraine for more than 20 years, before finally moving to Lviv in 1944. The fate of the Zankovetska theater was unique and thorny: it survived forced sovietization, repression by the authorities and a wave of the rise of national culture, which required new, unconventional expressions and reformations. However, this did not prevent the Maria Zankovetska Drama Theater from becoming one of the best theaters in Europe and being a laureate of numerous Ukrainian and foreign festivals.
