Gogol's play is a hilarious take on the subject of engagement and marriage, involving five suitors, a desperate bride and only slightly less desperate aunt, and a pushy matchmaker.
Gogoljev komad je vesela priča o veridbi i venčanju u koju su umešani pet prosaca, očajna mlada i samo nešto manje očajna tetka, kao i navalentna provodadžika.
