SUMMARIES

“THE WOOD-GOBLIN”

The radio play tells the story of crazy countrymen who saw off the hands to the hermit, the man who is of course unlike them – “The Wood-goblin”.

They have committed this repulsive crime and then tell the story, as they would like it to be; of course they then try to justify their action.

It is incomprehensible whether it is recollection or deposition or confesses… So, the tragedy, which happened in the abandoned village ARCHANDA, is painted by the monologues of seven personages.
