Oblomov
Authorship not stated
You play Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, who owns an estate he never visits and a dressing gown that defeats every intention. A letter from the steward reports failed crops and falling rents; it lies unanswered on the blanket while two callers arrive, one with invitations to a fashionable drive, one with a promotion he has no hours left to enjoy. Then Zakhar mentions that the landlord wants the apartment by next week, and a key turns in the outer lock.
