Dear and highly respected Ivan Semenovych! The drama committee has entrusted me with reviewing your Kozhumyaky and developing a plan to adapt it for the stage. I did so, read my plan, and it was highly praised; so now I am sending it to you for approval,” Mykhailo Starytskyi wrote to Ivan Nechui-Levytskyi in 1883.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimately, under Starytsky’s editorship, the comedy attained the expected success.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our edition of both plays includes comments and an introduction by Mykhailo Nazarenko.<\/span><\/p>\n

The book was illustrated by Halya Verheles. It was important for her to depict the transition from Ivan Nechui-Levytskyi’s realistic style to Mykhailo Starytskyi’s theatrical, embellished, and colorful version. Halya’s illustrations highlight the eclecticism of bourgeois life and architecture in Kyiv, where new buildings rise alongside old ones.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Theater Series is a collection of art books that reimagines classic plays and showcases contemporary drama, comedy, and tragedy through visual storytelling.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
