A famous play in a stage adaptation by Ivan Vyrypaev. The main character — a high-society celebrity, seducer, and cynic — challenges love, society, and the Heavens, refusing to repent until the very end. The author has created a compact, research-driven artistic version of the classic comedy, relocating the action to the present day and replacing historical jokes with modern equivalents. He spent two years developing the text alongside a theater director, researchers of the original work, and other specialists. While preserving the original's plot, structure, philosophical depth, and vibrant rhythm, this striking and highly stageable text allows the classic story to resonate sharply and modernly in today’s theater.
