One-act play based on a poem by Pushkin.

Parasha is in love with her neighbor Vassili. Unfortunately, they don’t manage to see each other more often. So when Parasha’s mother complains that she can’t find a good maid, Parasha comes up with a plan: Vassili dresses up as Mavra and becomes the new (female) maid.
