Four Plays by Alexander Ostrovsky
Three comedies - Too Clever by Half, Crazy Money, Innocent as Charged - and a tragedy - The Storm - by the father of Russian drama. Ostrovsky (1823-86), paved the way for twentieth century stage realism in Russia.
All four plays are populated by characters that reveal Ostrovsky's talent for well-turned idiomatic phrases and his acute observation of behaviour and conditioning.
