ABSTRACT
There was a notice in the green room today stating that our next production would be Griboiedov’s Woe From Wit to be staged by our own principal director Tvortsov and a new guest director, Remeslov.
The latter’s name was well-known from his work in the provinces. And so, many members of the company welcomed him. But others regarded him with suspicion and were surprised that someone who knew so little of our methods could be entrusted with a major production such as this. They spoke to Tvortsov about this error of judgement, but their arguments and warnings had no effect on him as he was convinced that fate had sent him the energetic assistant he had long been waiting for.
