The Diary of a Scoundrel
The Diary of a Scoundrel is a droll, satirical
tale about how society craves its scoundrels and scandals.
Alexander Ostrovsky is considered the greatest dramatist
of the Russian Realistic School, writing at the same time
as Turgenev, Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy. The play looks at
19th-century Russian middle-class life and a penniless young
man trying to get ahead in the world. Using intelligence
and charm, Yegor Gloumov plays on the weaknesses of his
distant relatives and their associates to move up social
and business ladders. Unable to stomach all his hypocrisy
without some release, he records his true thoughts in a
diary...which may be his downfall. Malcolm Tulip directs.
