Written by Anton Chekhov

Directed by Christopher Petit

A silly and satiric evening that takes a contemporary look at three of Chekhov’s most popular farces: the Bear, the Proposal, and the Jubilee, which follow a desperate creditor, a hypochondriac, and an overworked bank clerk. These vaudevilles are at once wildly theatrical and bitingly comic or, as Chekhov says, “an explosion of pain in comic form.” They mock our attempts at love, and also reveal just how fickle our hearts can be.
