in ALEKSEI ARBUZOV 'S
Old World. from the translation by ARIADNE NICOLAEFF adapted by WALTER HALL
An elderly surgeon and a failed circus artist might seem an unlikely couple to fall in love, but this is just what happens. He's in charge of a sanitorium and she's his new patient - and a truly extraordinary patient she turns out to be, with a zany sense of humour and an outsize love of life which nearly drives the poor doctor crazy.
A bitter-sweet sentimental love story by Soviet Russia's only widely respected and nationally performed stage writer.
