“The Perfect Wife”

a light comedy of situations

The beginning of the 20th century. St. Petersburg. An extravagant artist Antoine, an adventurous gigolo Gennady, and a romantic captain Richard decide to spend a delightful evening by inviting charming ladies on dates: the shy telephone operator Polina, the young housemaid Nastya, and the determined schoolteacher Victoria. But…

Each couple plans to meet in the very same apartment. And that’s not all—the apartment belongs to the respectable Trubetskoy family, where the lovely hostess Kristina Nikolaevna and her husband Maxim Sergeyevich find themselves, both cunningly and innocently, drawn into the unfolding intrigue. Mutual suspicions, comical situations, songs, dances, passionate confessions from gallant gentlemen, and elegant coquetry from refined ladies—what began as a promising romantic evening turns into complete chaos and an absolute nightmare. Yet through it all, the characters manage to see their partners in a new light and rediscover love with a “second wind.”

This is the comedy of situations at its finest. We look forward to welcoming you!
