DUEL AND DEATH
Famous Russian poet, Alexander Pushkin, dies in a duel defending his and his wife's honor.
ACT II Dr. Schultz nevertheless continues to try and save Pushkin’s life despite his pessimistic prognosis. He sends for another doctor, a specialist, in hopes that there still might be a chance. As Pushkin waits for the specialist and his health further deteriorates, he calls for Natalya again. He wants to reconcile with their past differences. As she sits by his side, Pushkin’s flashback from Act I resumes, this time recounting the tragic events and personalities—Pushkin, Natalya, D’Anthes, and others— that led up to the duel. The flashback also shows how and why things went wrong between Pushkin and Natalya, and it reveals the central conflicts in Pushkin’s life. Meanwhile, the medical specialist arrives to administer a procedure meant to improve Pushkin’s condition, only to make it worse. Pushkin is now subject to the most excruciating pain causing him to howl and throw a tantrum. He is given a shot of morphine to quiet him down.
ACTIII Pushkin now approaches death. He’s stayed alive for twenty-four hours but the pain has grown increasingly worse. Tension builds as he, and others around him, realizes there is absolutely no hope left: he’s not going to survive. In addition, ordinary Russian citizens have heard, through the grapevine, about Pushkin’s impending fate. Scores of strangers make their way to Pushkin’s apartment in order to a get one last glimpse of Russia’s greatest poet. The crowd adds more chaos to an already chaotic situation. Once Pushkin finally dies, Tsar Nicholas fears the throng of Pushkin enthusiasts will swell into something larger, thus threatening his regime. The final stage of this saga is the extraordinary measures the Tsar takes to suppress any recognition or celebration of Pushkin in public displays or even a funeral. Pushkin’s body is therefore secretly transported out of Saint Petersburg and buried in a monastery far away as DUEL AND DEATH comes to an end.
