The text is a delicious comedy in three acts, written in 1932 and staged in the same year at the Maria Ventura Theater, where it was first mounted at Bulandra in 1957 by director N. Al. Toscani. More than six decades after Toscani's staging, Horaţiu Mălăele brings back to the stage of the Bulandra Theater the three human typologies, embodying the Jew Ianke and distributing in the roles of the Turk Cadâr and the Romanian Take to Răzvan Vasilescu and Mihai Constantin.

Alongside the three main performers, the cast will also include: Dana Dogaru, Adrian Ciobanu, Maria Veronica Vârlan and Matei Constantin. The set design of the show was entrusted to Maria Miu.

The play brings to the forefront the life story of the three merchant friends, subtly addressing the issues of race, faith and religion, individual and group identity status, thus reminding us that differences are not necessarily a reason for disagreements. But also that good understanding can work on the basis of acceptance and the assumption of what defines us and differentiates us from others.
