The best known of these, \u003ci\u003eThe Forest\u003c\/i\u003e (1871), has two young lovers in thrall to their tyrannical elders, who are prevented from marrying until a pair of strolling actors come to their rescue. In \u003ci\u003eArtistes and Admirers\u003c\/i\u003e (1881), a comedy of theatre life, a dedicated young actress renounces both love and fortune in order to pursue her sacred calling. In the comedy \u003ci\u003eWolves and Sheep\u003c\/i\u003e (1875) Ostrovsky returns to a favourite theme, the double-dealing and hypocrisy of the Russian landowning classes, while the melodrama \u003ci\u003eSin and Sorrow\u003c\/i\u003e (1863) explores the tragic consequences of a bored provincial wife's brief affair.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-258198\"\u003eAlexander Ostrovsky\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oberon Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.10w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781840021981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1840021985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-DRA\"\u003eDrama\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-DRA003000\"\u003eEuropean | English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStephen Mulrine is a Glasgow-born poet and playwright who has written extensively for radio and television, and published many translations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oberon Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45914627702959,"sku":"9781840021981","price":34.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9255\/8767\/files\/img_8fcf97f1-5007-44d5-a207-ac926ab2d6b9.jpg?v=1758827908","url":"https:\/\/www.correctionsbookstore.com\/products\/ostrovsky-plays-two-the-forest-artistes-admirers-wolves-sheep-sin-sorrow-the-power-of-darkness","provider":"Corrections Bookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
