The three playwrights presented together in this volume
On the Road to Ourselves
), Elena Gremina (
Behind the Mirror
) and Olga Mikhailova (
Russian Dream
).
The selected plays contain many elements which will appeal to Western directors and audiences: well-drawn characters, engaging plots, lively wit. Central to the three plays selected in this volume is a complex interaction of Russian and Western value systems, a theme that becomes increasingly relevant for Russian audiences with each passing season and no less relevant for Europeans and Americans.
