Summary/Abstract: The subject of consideration is an one-act play Domino of Madame du Barry, which is a part of History at random (1939) by Waclaw Grubinski. The gist of this play is the Great French Revolution. The author was not going to formulate historical and philosophical conclusions. He was only interested in petty reasons of historic events. They are reflected in a heroine’s life. She is not educated and comes from the lower class, but thanks to the King Louis the 15th she becames a member of the highest social class aristocracy.
