Russian Conversation by staging a play

[Elena Gapova]

Another suggestion could be one of Maria Arbatova's plays. She is an "enfant
terrible", in a way, but her plays are good, very lively and contemporary,
as she picks up the issues which were considered as "not suited for art" for
a long time (like abortion, which was a "private matter not to be discussed
publicly").

And here's a quote, to have some taste of her language:

В летний сезон все вокруг стремились терять то, что взрослые свирепо
называли "девической честью". Воспитанные на русской литературе, мы
совершенно не понимали, почему мужская честь охраняется дуэлями, а женская -
отказом от половой жизни. Почему у мужчины она категория нравственная, а у
женщины - физиологическая.
