Marko Kropyvnytskyi went down in the history of Ukrainian art as a great actor and talented director, playwright, and author of popular songs. On occasion, he himself created scenery for performances, being fond of painting. But his talent for playwriting was particularly deep. He is the author of dozens of plays.

The most distinctive feature of his dramas was the harmonious combination of Ukrainian ethnography with topical issues of social life, where the difficult and at the same time highly spiritual national life was clearly revealed.

The motifs of a lord's love affair with a peasant girl, which ends tragically for her, can be found in Kropyvnytskyi's play Until the Sun Rises, the Dew Eats the Eyes. It is read in one breath, because it is full of dynamism in the development of events, the characters are written very colourfully, vividly.
