Yes, in general, the story is simple. It can happen to anyone. There is a protagonist - the second one is an antagonist, there is one hostage - the second one is the ruler of the situation, one escapes – the second catches up, one creates – the second evaluates, in general, a dramatic conflict, psychological and personal confrontation between the characters.

And everyone has their own truth, their own special circumstances, ambitions and views on phenomena, concepts, goals, tasks, etc. Everyone wants to emerge victorious in the dispute of worldviews, the game of self-love, the confrontation of common sense and the absurdity of life, overcome insurmountable circumstances and achieve the triumph of truth!

Zabbarov's play based on the famous comedy by Japanese playwright, screenwriter and director Koki Mitani "The Academy of Laughter".
