The basis of the "almost ridiculous story" (as the authors defined the genre of the play) is a paradoxically comic situation. At the initiative of his wife, a hypnotist is called into the house of a married couple of Nadezhda and Boris ... A hypnotist. And no one could have imagined that the situation with the search for the money hidden by the husband would turn out to be a real test for the husband and wife. In turn, plunging into a trance, they give each other all the innermost secrets of their souls.
Amazing, juicy language of Sigarev, homerically funny dialogues and situations and the most delicate author’s look with which the playwright looks at his heroes through the eyes of the third protagonist of the play - the Hypnotist.
