Published by the Romanian playwright I. L. Caragiale in 1884, A Lost Letter (Rom. O scrisoare pierdută) is one of the most well-known Romanian comedies of manners. The comedy in four acts takes place in an unnamed Romanian mountain county. For the past eight years, the city's young prefect Ștefan Tipătescu has been having an affair with Zoe Trahanache, the coquettish wife of his much older, but (seemingly) clueless friend and political ally Zaharia Trahanache. One day, the lives of Tipătescu and his mistress are turned upside down when the slimy lawyer Nae Cațavencu finds a compromising letter from Tipătescu to his mistress and blackmails the pair, threatening to publish the letter in his newspaper unless they name him as a candidate for the Chamber of Deputies. Things are further complicated when Tipătescu's party sends its own candidate to the county and demands his naming as a candidate, and his election. And to top that all off, the letter keeps changing hands...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The satirical comedy paints a humorous picture of the social and political corruption taking place in Romania at that time. Thanks to being included in the Romanian high school curriculum, most Romanians are highly familiar with it and it continues to be played in theaters up to this day. It has been adapted to film twice, once in 1953 (directed by Sica Alexandrescu and Victor Iliu) and in 1977 (directed by Liviu Ciulei).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This play provides examples of: | |
