Description

Ludmila, a not-so-young girl, falls in love with the son of the house’s mistress—a young man who is a carefree gallivant. To save him, she is ready to sacrifice everything—even to steal the most important financial document entrusted to her father. The young man, in love with another woman, immediately gives her a promissory note, and the rival burns it… Almost a detective story ends happily: the burned promissory note turns out to be a copy, Nikolai is a decent man, and Ludmila marries the man she loves…

The intrigue of Alexander Nikolayevich Ostrovsky’s play “Late Love” is tightly wound: lofty, pure love and self-sacrifice, dramatic tension and comic situations, huge sums of money, forgery and theft…
