The Thunderstorm. The Dowry. Plays

This collection includes the best examples of the work of the renowned playwright and founder of the theatrical school Alexander Nikolaevich Ostrovsky: the story of a forced marriage of convenience in "The Poor Bride," the unhappy marriage and despair in "The Thunderstorm," and the fruitless search for true love in our imperfect world in "The Dowry."
Russian writers have always demonstrated through their works that one doesn't need to look for plots and characters in other universes: it is necessary to closely examine the place where you live and then accurately describe what you see. Then it will be enjoyed and staged in theaters in any country and in any century. This is what has been happening with Ostrovsky's plays for more than 160 years. Because while technologies, social structures, and lifestyles may change, the human being who seeks answers to the eternal questions of existence is quite inert. And questions are called eternal because answers to them will not be found anytime soon. But it is worth trying.
