Fourteen Russian One-Act Plays, edited by Ludmilla A. Patrick, offers students and general readers a rare window into the lively theatrical traditions of modern Russia. Carefully selected for accessibility and humor, these fourteen short comedies—many reflecting everyday life in the Soviet Union—capture the sparkle of Russian wit in compact form. Each play is short enough to be read in two or three sittings, making the collection ideal for classroom assignments or informal study. With dialogue that is contemporary and engaging, the plays showcase the breadth of Russian cultural settings, from urban households to provincial scenes, while balancing literary charm with practical readability.
What distinguishes this volume is its dual purpose: it entertains while also serving as a pedagogical tool. Graded by difficulty, the plays are accompanied by a complete vocabulary that highlights idiomatic expressions and eases comprehension for learners with two semesters of Russian. By combining linguistic support with authentic literary content, the collection encourages readers not only to improve their Russian but also to immerse themselves in its theatrical imagination. At once instructive and enjoyable, Fourteen Russian One-Act Plays demonstrates how drama—concise, humorous, and socially observant—can provide a gateway to deeper cultural and linguistic fluency.
This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1950.
