Abstract

The article consideres A. V. Sukhovo-Kobylin’s literary and theater debut, The Marriage of Krechinsky, in the context of the manor or serf theater, with its centennial history reaching its culmination in the 1850s. The Marriage of Krechinsky was written to be staged in one of the greatest serf theaters of the day, in Vyksa. The archives — the playwright’s diaries, his notebooks, epistolary legacy, collections of newspaper and magazine clippings with the owner’s notes — feature some mentions of Vyksa, of the guests and the hosts of the manor house, as well as of the local theater. They help to reconstruct certain events, the repertoire, and trace the reflection of the manor theater experiences in the poetics of The Marriage of Krechinsky.
