best examples of Russian comedy

[Francoise Rosset]

Latish entries, in the written text category (plays):
Evgenii Shvarts's *The Dragon* and Nikolai Erdman's *The Suicide*
The latter may require some Russian/Soviet history context, but it's 
brilliant. So is *Dragon.*

And I strongly second the vote for the all-too-often overlooked Nadezhda 
Teffi!
