Igor and Yasmin Andreev say they are not ready to return to the stage

The actors, who left Lenkom, said they have received offers from other theatres but are focused on their family and are not ready to take up new work.

In an interview with Gazeta.Ru, the couple confirmed that other theatres had made offers. They did not identify the venues and said they were still considering what to do next. The Andreevs said their attention was currently on each other and their daughter, rather than an immediate return to work.

The actors thanked supporters on social media and asked that the discussion of their departure not be prolonged, saying they did not want to create difficulties for former colleagues. Earlier reports said the actor-blogger family left Lenkom before their contracts expired. Those reports cited an alleged ultimatum from the theatre’s management, but the couple did not comment on the circumstances of their departure in the new interview.

They also declined to name the theatres that had made offers. Their decision not to return to the stage for now does not amount to a rejection of future work: the couple said they were still considering their plans.
