Premiere date: November 8, 1963

According to the authors, professional reporters, the play "The Stolen Bridegroom" is the result of a selection of real-life events seen "on the spot." The action captures the difficulties of two engaged couples from two different collective farms, both valuable in their work, therefore claimed as a future family by both villages. To resolve the situation, Anica steals her groom, Andrei, and brings him to her village. Apart from the comical nature generated by the reversal of values (traditionally, brides were stolen), the act has a deeper meaning. The young husband, bringing more advanced experience and initiative, being eager for renewal, causes so much trouble for his new relatives and friends that at one point he is invited to return to his village with his wife. But now he no longer wants to leave and everything proposed for the prosperity of the household will be achieved.
