Keistuoliai

This play is a continuation of A. Giniotis' trilogy of plays for children, based on motifs from Lithuanian fairy tales. Following "Jonas Kareivis" (John the Soldier), "Mykolas Žvejys" (Michael the Fisherman), and the lazily creeping "Juzė Dykaduonis" (Juzė the Idler) that appeared on the theater stage, "Bambeklis Bajoras" (The Grumbling Nobleman) now joins them.

Like the previous plays, "Bambeklis Bajoras" is a story about a special person with a special surname, which became a sign of fate for him and determined his future life. A prominent nobleman living in a Lithuanian village realizes one day that his native land is too small and too dull for him: neither the house, nor the fields, nor the people seem to fit his noble origin anymore. The only solution is to set out into the wide world and find a place worthy of himself, an eminent person.
