The author’s wife, an outstanding writer-playwright, laureate of the Abai State Prize, Roza Mukanova, watched the play and gave a positive assessment.
I came to the play with doubts about whether the “Zhastar” theater would be able to fully understand this work, whether it would be able to convey the hidden meanings, and how the images of Kirpishbai and Asau Boken would turn out. But after watching the play, these doubts were completely dispelled. We are again meeting Kirpishbai in the 21st century. Society has not changed. But the force that changes it is the reformer Asau Boken. “New Kazakhstan”, “Just Society”, “Hearing State” – this is Asau Boken. We need such characters. The performance was staged in a way that inspires young people,” said Roza Mukanova.
In the “Zhastar” theater, the main character Asau Boken is played by actor Yerbol Tileukenov.
