Performance-tale based on the work of Nikolai Leskov.

Cheerful and naughty, fascinating and informative play about the Tula master Lefty who savvy the English flea, and so wiped his nose to all overseas masters! This is a story about how important it is to be a master in your business.

The British sent a mechanical flea to the Russian Emperor to show off their tricky technique. The Russian autocrat called General Platov and instructed him to take the Aglitsky surprise to the Tula masters for revision. Platov arrived in Tula, where by cunning, where by gentle words, where menacingly - persuaded to fulfill the command of the Emperor. They chose Lefty - the best master, yes Egupycha - the most experienced. And the Emperor gave forty days and forty nights to everything about everything.

The time has come. Masters, satisfied with their work, handed the flea to Platov. However, the General, not noticing any change, became loud, screaming: you say, you want to destroy me like this, you have done nothing, and you probably also ruined the work of the Aglitsky. Offended by the master and did not discover the secret of Platov. Enraged, Platov took the flea and, taking with him Lefty, went to England. But the aglitsk masters could not understand the Russian secret. But Lefty saw “overseas wonders” for the rest of his life and having learned that the British didn’t clean their guns with bricks, and suddenly the war ... hurried to Petersburg. Platov granted it to the Emperor that Lefty would be told what he and the flea had done. For the kind word of the Autocrat and Lefty revealed his secret, about how a flea on a horseshoe was shod and forced not by an overseas dance, but by our Russian dance.
