"Marriage" is one of the funniest plays by Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol. With a simple plot about how four rather battered suitors court the merchant's daughter Agafya Tikhonovna, Gogol transforms it into a phantasmagorical panorama of Russian reality, where sharp social satire mixes with grotesque elements, and the characters crafted by the author are colorful and distinct from one another.
The main character of the play is the merchant's daughter Agafya Tikhonovna, for whom the matchmaker Fekla Ivanovna is looking for a suitor. Agafya Tikhonovna spends her days at home, bored and dreaming of her "chosen one." And so, with the help of the matchmaker, the suitors come to her: the titular adviser Podkolesin, the executor Yaiichnitsa, the retired infantry officer Anuchkin, and the seasoned sailor Zhevakkin...
One of the main roles in the play will be played by Russian actor Denis Rozhkov, known to television viewers from the series "Glukhari," in which he played a secondary lead role.
