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. Over six decades after Toscani's production, Horațiu Mălăele brings back to the Bulandra Theater stage the three human typologies, embodying the Jew Ianke and casting Răzvan Vasilescu and Mihai Constantin in the roles of the Turk Cadar and the Romanian Take.

Alongside the three main actors, the cast will also include: Dana Dogaru, Adrian Ciobanu, Maria Veronica Vârlan, and Matei Constantin. The stage design for the show has been 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, reminding us that differences are not necessarily a cause for dissension. But also that good understanding can work based on acceptance and assumption of what defines us and differentiates us from others.
