Four of Ostrovsky's finest plays. The best known of these, The
Forest (1871), has two young lovers in thrall to their tyrannical
elders, who are prevented from marrying until a pair of strolling
actors come to their rescue. In Artistes and Admirers (1881), a
comedy of theatre life, a dedicated young actress renounces both
love and fortune in order to pursue her sacred calling. In the
comedy Wolves and Sheep (1875) Ostrovsky returns to a favourite
theme, the double-dealing and hypocrisy of the Russian landowning
classes, while the melodrama Sin and Sorrow (1863) explores the
tragic consequences of a bored provincial wife's brief affair.
