The play directed by Michal Chernyak sparkles with humor, and the director places a special emphasis on the romantic line. This topical satirical play, written by French playwrights in 1936, gains new colors and meanings. A certain Monsieur Gaston Valtier, for a modest reward, organized a perfectly legal training for citizens on how to evade taxes. However, he took on this noble mission not to help people suffering from excessive government levies, but to avoid losing his beloved wife, who threatens to go "astray" from her unsuccessful husband. The success of the school of taxpayers exceeds all expectations, and while the treasury empties, Monsieur Valtier's pockets become heavier. But what about the wife? Do money solve everything, or can not all female whims be satisfied? This play is a true antidepressant, combining a love intrigue, humor, irony, and an extraordinary plot, centered around a charming, talented, and in-love adventurer.
