The play was firstly published in 1926 in Baku by the Azerbaijan State Publishing House.[2] It was then republished only in 1968 in the first volume of the "Selected Works" of the Huseyn Javid.[3] The first production of the play took place in 1922. Thus, in the 1922/23 of the theatrical season, the play was staged in the State Turkic Theater named after Dadash Bunyatzade by the director Abbas Mirza Sharifzade.
