by Yuri Trifonov (1925-81), translated by Michael Frayn
with Michael Jayston as Viktor

The antipathy between his wife Lena and his mother has been the bane of Viktor's life - All the more surprising, then, that when his mother falls ill, Lena suggests she should live with them. A bitter-sweet comedy of Moscow life in the 1970s by one of the most popular and distinguished of Soviet writers.
