Woe from Wit: A Verse Comedy in Four Acts by Betsy Hulick, Angela Brintlinger, Alexander Griboyedov

1.0

I wanted to love this play, but I should know by now that poetry is such a huge barrier for translation that it is almost insurmountable. I am sure this is an important work in Russian culture. But the English translation reads like a children's poem.
