Story
The Forest is a witty and satirical comedy by Alexander Ostrovsky, one of Russia’s most celebrated 19th-century playwrights. The play revolves around Raisa Pavlovna, a wealthy landowner who is preparing to sell off her estate and marry a much younger man. Her plans are turned upside down when her nephew, Gennady—an impoverished actor—unexpectedly returns.
Through mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and sharp exchanges, Ostrovsky portrays the hypocrisy, greed, and vanity of provincial society. The forest itself becomes a symbol of both material wealth and moral blindness.
Blending farce with social critique, The Forest exposes the absurdities of human ambition while giving the stage to colorful characters, from scheming relatives to sharp-tongued servants. Both humorous and biting, the play remains a classic example of Ostrovsky’s ability to combine comedy with a keen eye for social reality.
