The writer Fyodor Abramov is a rare representative of the genre of village prose. All his works are a combination of the trivialities of rural life and the greatness of their inner world, untainted by the "benefits" of modern civilization. The monodrama "Babiley" based on the prose of Fyodor Abramov tells the story of a woman with a wealth of life experience. She marked her retirement with a loud anniversary, invited guests, and revealed her soul to them as if for the last time, shining with her femininity and beauty. The monodrama by the talented actress Vera Bykova is a live communication between the heroine and the audience, through which it is suggested to explore why women have to take on men's work, earn for the family on their own, and raise children alone. According to the director of the production, Natalia Kolotova, the play will be of interest primarily to family couples, as it may remind the male half that women need to be loved, pampered, and cherished, and then they will forever remain young, fragrant flowers.
