Nikolai works and lives with Ludmilla, a housewife who stays at home dreaming of romance. Moscow has a housing shortage, so when Volodya arrives with nowhere to live he is invited to share the couple's cramped quarters with surprising results.

This enchanting three-character "silent movie musical", based on Abram Room's scandalous 1926 Russian film comedy, is an elegant homage to the genre. Using only the words taken from title cards in the film, it's a truly unique piece of music theatre that brings to life a ménage-a-trios with a twist. Played without an interval, its whimsical score and haunting libretto is at once both comedic and heartbreaking.
