Synopsis

Including The Naked King (1934), The Shadow (1949) and The Dragon (1944), this volume of satirical plays written during the era of Stalin charts the development of Shvarts's perceptions.

The final play, The Dragon, is an eloquent and powerful portrayal of the destructive effects of totalitarianism on the human spirit.
