Description: Alexander Griboedov's Woe from Wit is one of the masterpieces of Russian drama. A verse comedy set in Moscow high society after the Napoleonic wars, it offers sharply drawn characters and clever repartee, mixing meticulously crafted banter and biting social critique.
Review Quotes: Enjoyable, clever, and very amusing, Woe from Wit deserves to be better-known and more widely performed beyond Russia.--M. A. Orthofer "The Complete Review"
