Shchiptsov
also: Щипцов, Mishutka, Мишутка, Mifa, Мифа
A tall, heavyset provincial actor cast as the 'noble father' and 'simple soul,' known more for his physical strength than his acting; suffers a sudden internal rupture during a quarrel with his impresario and dies within two days, longing throughout to return home to Vyazma.
Reading notes
- An Actor's Doom §1 Благородный отец и простак
"Noble father" (blagorodny otets) and "simple soul" (prostak) were stock casting types in the provincial Russian theater's fixed repertory system: the dignified elder-statesman role and the amiable fool/comic-relief role, often doubled by the same aging journeyman actor.
