     Characters: He and She, a Husband and a Wife. This is a story about a regular woman, with no visible problems or complexes almost left her husband.

     All play is filled with magnificently familiar routine things, even the smallest details that you can usually find in each average apartment of each average person. A summer house, some alcohol, worn-out slippers.. all that is masterly played by actors making the audience laugh and cry at the same time.

     It turned out, true love cannot be instilled, imposed, put into a load, like a stale goods, forcibly inculcated or, ultimately, even bring up in yourself. It is a talent, a God’s gift, you either have it or not. And it does not come for no reason.

     And if a family life becomes routine, the crush is inevitable. Maybe it will be slow, hidden, like the Tower of Pisa falling for many centuries.

     This play is a passionate mutual confession of the husband and wife about their 20-years’ family life. Many their views have changed, different conduct is needed. Both characters make finale sincere and fair.
