When successful merchant Bolshov hatches a dubious plan to declare himself bankrupt, he involves his faithful clerk, Lazar, into the scheme. But is he too smart for his own good? Sometimes even a rank schemer can be outmanoeuvred by a more skillful one. It’s A Family Affair… is a classic play by Ostrovsky that does certainly have a distinctly modern edge.
