The Major Plays of Nikolai Erdman (Paperback)

This volume contains the full text in English of both "The Suicide"
and Nikolai Erdman's first major, albeit less known work, "The
Warrant." Although both plays were written in the early 1920s, they
were haunted by the political spectre of totalitarianism and it was
only in the 1980s that they began to be staged regularly worldwide.
The plays themselves, full of political satire and paradox, show
the immense skill of this playwright, and the introduction by John
Freedman provides valuable insights into the historical context of
the plays, highlighting Erdman's unique use of language. These new
translations are well illustrated with little-known archival
production photographs and drawings of the period.
