Anna, the Mayor’s wife, is the mother of Marya. Marya is described in the script as a typical sullen teenager, while Anna is something of a middle-aged coquette. They are both quite vain and frequently compete with one another for the attention of men. They have recently received news that an incognito government inspector is coming to their small Russian town in order to inspect and report their behavior to the authorities--which is terribly exciting!
