    The three playwrights presented together in this volume On the Road to Ourselves), Elena Gremina (Behind the Mirror) and Olga Mikhailova (Russian Dream).
    The selected plays contain many elements which will appeal to Western directors and audiences: well-drawn characters, engaging plots, lively wit. Central to the three plays selected in this volume is a complex interaction of Russian and Western value systems, a theme that becomes increasingly relevant for Russian audiences with each passing season and no less relevant for Europeans and Americans.

    Chapter 1 On the Road to Ourselves, Maria Arbatova; Chapter 2 Behind the Mirror, Elena Gremina; Chapter 3 Russian Dream, Olga Mikhailova;
