The performance was created on the basis of the independent work of actors of the Theater

Censor and Author work together. Censor critiques, Author revises. More often than not, the text benefits from it. Imagination beats everything! Some of Censor's ideas are certainly full of it. Apart from working on a comedy play they sometimes talk to each other. We get to know them better over a week they spend together working. Pedantic Censor (""I'm devoid of the sense of humor"") and a kowtowing Author, ready to do anything to have his play accepted. Kowtowing is his way of countering censorship and he turns all critique into jokes, and Censor seems to be going along with it, even though he doesn't have a sense of humor... However, this does dramatically change his attitude towards the Author, his play and theatre. This play is a goldmine of fine quotes. Art is lifechanging, laughter is healing. They say that truth is born in laughter.
