Wait, people are supposed to find this play funny? Apparently I missed that memo and skipped right into snoozetown.

genuinely funny in the way that I can see a community theatre production of this in a retirement home going super well!

funny
tense
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? It's complicated

This so ludicrous yet absolutely amusing!
I listened to a dramatic reading of the play, which made every bit of it 10 times better.
Here's the link to the audio If you want to experience it, too:

The Julius West translation, many thanks to John Eddings, Ruth Golding, Simon Larois and Philippa for the free Librivox audiobook edition
Audiobooks have an edge when it comes to theatre and this proposal packs a punch. It is a humorous, farcical rendition of a proposal, often derailed by the idiosyncrasies of those involved. It's carefully crafted in style and form and very entertaining, with John Eddings, Ruth Golding, Simon Larois as Stepan Stepanovich Chubukov, Natalya Stepanovna, Ivan Vassilevitch Lomov, respectively, and Philippa reading the stage directions.
