Paulinka ( Belarusian: Паўлінка) is a comedy play in two parts by a Belarusian poet and writer Yanka Kupala. [1]) Written in 1912, it was printed first time in 1913 in St. Petersburg by the publisher The Sun Will Peek into Our Window As Well ( be:Загляне сонца і ў наша аконца) [2] [3]
Paulinka is a daughter of a petty nobleman ("village szlachtic") Sciapan Krynicki. She falls in love with the local teacher Yakim Saroka. The father disapproves this planning her marriage with a wealthier szlachcic Bykovsky. Paulinka and Saroka are planning to run away, but Yakim is arrested for his revolutionary views, ratted out by Bykovsky.
Play directors often replace the finale with a more optimistic one: the pair does run away. [3]
The play grew out of the short story And the Willows Rustled (А вербы шумелі) started by the author. [3] It is suggested[ by whom?] that the prototype of Paulinka was Kupala's lyrical friend Paulina Myadzyolka , but in later years she denied this. [4] Some also claim that Myadzyolka was first one to play Paulinka, which is not true: the first amateur play of Paulinka, starring Софья Маркевич, was in Vilnius in January 13, while Maydzyolka played next month in an amateur play in St.Petersburg. [4]
In 1952 a Russian-language TV play was released directed by Aleksandr Zarkhi and starring Lyudmila Senchina. In 1972 Belarusfilm released a full-feature musical film After the Fair starring Lyudmila Senchina, screenplay by Andrey Makayonak , directed by Yuri Tsvetkov .
