A young woman, Maryša, is promised by her father to Vávra, whose previous wife has died. This not only affects Maryša, but also Francek, the young man who loves her, who decides to leave the village to go to war rather than remain to see Maryša marry Vávra. The play also examines how the marriage affects the family dynamics, such as her grandmother's weakness and inability to help her granddaughter.
The play was adapted into a film of the same name by Josef Rovenský in 1935.[1]
A production of the play directed by Michal Lang opened on 21 January 2006 at the Antonín Dvořák Theatre, Ostrava, starring Gabriela Mikulková in the title role.
