drama by Alexander Ostrovsky, opening
in the Paul Green TTieatre, Executive Pro

THE STOTM is a 19th century Russian
play about the effects of blindly followed
tradition. A study in contrast this drama
depicts the oppressed atmosphere' of a
small town on the banks of the Volga Ri
ver - a “dark kingdom" of unlimited
small-town authority, rigidity, and pretty
despotism. It is this severe world that the
sensitive and idealistic Katerina rejects.
Katerina marries into the family of Marfa
Kabanova, a bnjtish matn'airthal figure.
At first, she accepts the fate of a love
less, passive life. In the end. however,
Katerina must escape, no longer able to
live in a world so foreign to the dictates
of her heart.
