”The loneliness of the old demagogue and his devoted wife…
Ion Luca Caragiale’s play is a dramatic gem with a perfect interweaving of the subject, dramatic characters and style).
But beyond the anecdotal confusion, brilliant in its simplicity, a theme of senescence shines through in the play.
Beyond Leonidas’ political ambitions lies the helplessness of the castaway, powerless to achieve or act. Old age also brings uselessness.
Our brave pensioner Leonida in the past, a great talker in the cafes of the Bucharest slum, now has only one spectator: his second wife, the gentle Efimita.” Ion Sabdaru
