Eh, well, I'll spare you my always conflicted overanalysis of the situation. Here it is, a link to the review, for you to click and peruse at your leisure:

And here's the snippet about me and my part in the show:
It’s an old-fashioned approach that FPCT handles competently. “The Proposal” plays out like a screwball comedy. Thirty-something Lomov (a delightful Ishai Barnoy) visits his neighbor Chubukova (Cherie Weinert) to ask for her daughter Natasha’s (Laura Malkus) hand in marriage, but once he and Natasha are alone all they can do is bicker wildly about which family owns an unimportant piece of land or whose dog is the best. Barnoy’s gift for funny nervousness returns in “The Reluctant Tragic Hero” as Tolkachov, a husband who stops by the home of Murashkina (Alisa Padon) to ask for a favor: Could she lend him a gun? It’s summer, you see, and summer for a married man means summering outside of the city, which means making a long journey to and from the city every day. And because they’re out in the country, he has to run errands for his wife—and her friends, and the neighbors, and whomever else asks—while he’s in the city. Pick up fabric, stop by the dressmaker, pick up gifts. He has lists as long as his arm, so he wants to borrow a gun just to have a night of rest out in the woods. Murashkina will oblige him, provided he can do something for her; would he mind running a sewing machine out to a friend who is summering at the same lake as he and his wife?-- Bret McCabe, The Baltimore City Paper
