Imogen
also: Имоген
A play (evidently a contemporary Moscow production) the narrator repeatedly cites as the fashionable thing to have seen, name-dropping it to seem cultured while privately bored stiff and yawning through it.
Reading notes
- In Moscow §12 Imogen
A play the narrator name-drops as the fashionable thing to have seen -- one of several theatrical references used to signal (false) cultivation.
- In Moscow §20 Imogen
The same production named earlier: the narrator sits through it stifling yawns while performing rapture on his face, the piece's central comic gap between felt boredom and displayed enthusiasm.
