Heroic-popular comedy by Alexandru Popescu and Dimitrie Bălan, premiering in the country

„"The play by Alexandru Popescu and Dimitrie Bălan (both editors at the Oradea newspaper Crişana) is based on a noble intention, namely to serve the young spectators an inspiring history lesson, combining the charm of the popular myth with peasant humor [...], the main idea being that of love for the motherland, this love representing the motive of all the outlaw actions against the invasion. The outlaw, the forest and the country represent an indestructible unity and the authors use this fact to highlight the main thread of the play: the natural communion of the people with the land of the homeland.

The text is valuable, especially from an ideological point of view, the main idea being that of love for the mother who gave birth... The structure of the play, characterized by a rapid alternation of plans, requires a dynamic directorial vision, in which the predominant element is tension.
