The Fruits of Enlightenment

Leo Tolstoy

Comedy in four acts satirising an aristocratic Moscow family devoted to spiritualism, while peasants who have come to buy land wait in vain. A clever maid uses the séances to get the sale signed. First performed by amateurs at Yasnaya Polyana (1889) and premiered in 1891.
