The play "Truth is Good, but Happiness is Better" at the N. P. Akimov Comedy Theater invites viewers to immerse themselves in the world of the play by Alexander Nikolaevich Ostrovsky, written in 1876. This work, filled with sly humor, reveals to the audience the complex relationships in the house of the wealthy merchant Mavra Tarasovna Barabosheva. At first glance, everything in her house is orderly and strict, but behind the facade of prosperity there are hidden family intrigues and secrets.

The audience will witness how the domineering mistress, indulgent to the weaknesses of her household, encounters the honest and straightforward Platon and her granddaughter Polixena, who, having inherited her grandmother's tough temper, unexpectedly falls in love with Platon. The unexpected appearance of a guest from the past, Sila Yerofeich Groznov, adds intrigue to this fascinating story.

The Comedy Theater named after N. P. Akimov, located in the heart of St. Petersburg, invites viewers to enjoy this classic comedy in a cozy and atmospheric setting. The performance promises to give not only laughter, but also make you think about the power of the past and the role of chance in our lives.
