Rogers<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>(For production by Professional Groups, College\/University Groups, Community Groups)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Based on the life of Russian author, Ivan Turgenev, this taut play is very Chekhovian in nature. Its characters are richly drawn and full of repressed sensuality. Their lives and loves interweave, creating a tapestry of Russia during the middle 1800\u2019s &#8212; the Russia of the Tsar &#8212; the Russia of both the privileged few and the peasant working class. (sounds like America of the early 2000s) It is fascinating to notice that&#8211;despite the social upheaval that led to its eventual dissolution and once more the former USSR &#8212; much remains as before.\u00a0 In its poignant irony, Turgenev\u2019s own personal story surpasses those he penned which, in Western Europe, won for him such acclaim. In the person of this humanitarian idealist, the play illustrates the hypocrisy and self-deception of many a well-intended intellectual.\u00a0 Contains adult situations.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>PLAY DETAILS:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>4M 2W 2TG<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Masha<\/b>, a servant girl in her mid-teens<\/li>\n<li><b>Pelagea,<\/b> another servant girl in her mid-teens<\/li>\n<li><b>Sergey Nikitich<\/b>, Varvara\u2019s younger brother, in his late thirties<\/li>\n<li><b>Nikolay Turgenev<\/b>, Varvara\u2019s first son and his mother\u2019s steward, in his early forties<\/li>\n<li><b>Varvara Turgeneva<\/b>, a wealthy landowner, in her sixties<\/li>\n<li><b>Ivan Turgenev<\/b>, Varvara\u2019s second son, in his late thirties<\/li>\n<li><b>Luka<\/b>, Ivan\u2019s valet, in his early twenties<\/li>\n<li><b>Pauline Garcia Viardo<\/b>t, Ivan\u2019s long term intimate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>One Interior<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>2 hours<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>ORDER #3059<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Available for ALL producing groups.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>PERUSAL MATERIALS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Perusal Pages File<\/strong> (in PDF format) can be read by clicking <strong>the ICON below. <\/strong>It contains the first act of the script.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/GentleBarbarianPERUSAL.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18790\" src=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Perusal-Script-300x94.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"249\" height=\"78\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This and other plays by <em>Thomas F.
