The Public

also: Публика

A personified dramatis persona representing the theatergoing audience -- "a lady agreeable in every respect; eats whatever is served" -- a direct lift from the "lady agreeable in all respects" of Gogol's Dead Souls, and the piece's sharpest joke about undiscriminating popular taste.
