after Ion Creanga

Artistic direction and scenography: Gavril Borodan
Musical illustration: Gavril Borodan
Premiere date: 04.11.2003

The stage adaptation of the well-known story written by Ion Creangă depicts a typical country household, run in the most authoritarian manner by the mother-in-law. Widowed at an early age, Aftinia chooses wives for her sons on her own, with the sole purpose of using their labor. The third daughter-in-law, brought into the house by the youngest son without prior consultation, brings evil things to the mother-in-law. At her urging, the other two daughters-in-law, suddenly awakened to reality, take cruel revenge for all the evils they have endured, demonstrating, with the usual humor, that good conquers evil, even if the means used are not the most honest.
