The story about actors who will never agree to betray their theatre, even if they will have to burn themselves. And other instructions on how to behave if a whiskered man breaks into your house and wants you to leave it.
In her teens, Mme. Zachanassian had to flee her home town in disgrace. Now she's old and rich and the town is facing bankruptcy. But she returns with news that she wants to help - as long as the townsfolk kill someone for her.
A witty comedy, that has fun and philosophy in one. Inspired by short stories of O`Henry.
