My Redbreast (A Comedy Sadder Than Sad) is a 2012 play by Georgian playwright Miho Mosulishvili.
Sopho returns from America, where she has been for the last twelve years, for her husband's death anniversary. She finds that her school friend, Shoka, is pregnant. Moreover, it turns out that her husband, Chito, has not died. He married Shoka, and his tombstone in their yard was just a means of extorting money from Sopho. The husband, friend, and even her son Toko cheated Sopho to take money from her and pay for the interest on the apartment, which they had put in the bank. They are alarmed by Sopho's unexpected arrival.
Sopho decides not to return to America, although Toko manages to bring old Baxter, whom his mother was taking care of in the States, to Georgia. He wants his mother to care for him in Georgia, not to lose money. Sopho refuses to look after Baxter and makes her family members care for him to punish the idlers Chito, Shoka, and Toko. Baxter intends to propose to Sopho, but since she supports the idlers, he concludes she is like them.
In the final scene, the characters are close to the Celestial Court. Their roles change: Sopho and Baxter care for Chito, Shoka, and Toko, who are confined to invalid chairs. Baxter names Sopho " My Redbreast" (the source of the play's title).
