What parents do not wish a happy destiny for their children, in a way they understand that? Even if a young girl’s admirer is 70, that okay if his wallet is tight. They could not find their own love, so they decided that love does not exist, it was blown away by poverty and lack of money. Let at least their children be rich and famous! So they begin to pester their young daughters, to praise the old men! And at the old man, at seventy, his thoughts are completely confused: he is calling to get married here, and the next day he thinks: see, dreamed about that! And they begin to confuse the evil tongues of the poor old prince, and he never really knows: it was a dream or a reality!
Uncle’s Dream is the product of successful and fruitful cooperation between Lesya Ukrainka National Academic Theatre of Russian Drama and Varpakhovsky Theatre (Montreal, Canada) which successfully showed “Old Wives’ Summer” to Kyiv and Moscow audience.
