ABSTRACT
The competition is open both to original scripts and to adaptations from Russian and world literature. This gives authors great scope in their choice of subject. The theme may reflect the past ando present of revolutionary and old-world Russia or contemporary life in either a realistic or a romantic treatment. But we do require fullness of content, clarity and entertainment in the plot, drawn in cheerful and wholesome tones, complexity of action unfolding within the framework of the beauties of nature, and a variety of experiences for the heroes.
