The play "Terrible Parents" is a dramatic duel where pain, resentment, hatred and love are intertwined together, leading to sad results in the finale. The house, it turns out, is built on sand and is based on hostility, indifference, hatred and deception, and human dignity - even life - is not put into anything here. Going beyond the microenvironment, a specific family situation, the play speaks not only about terrible parents and no less terrible children, but also reveals the terrible world of the “benevolent” bourgeois family, typical vices of bourgeois society.
