Chekhov's short stories are brought to life in this kaleidoscopic production, capturing the essence of a parochial Russia where cruelty, absurdity and social satire are dished out in equal measure. Join us on a whirlwind journey through callous comedies, ludicrous love stories and captivating curiosities each filled with a vibrant collection of characters; love-lorn young ladies, infuriated academics, bumbling husbands and desperate young nursemaids, each with their own tale to tell. Performed by an ensemble cast with live musical accompaniment, this production from exciting new company Absolute Theatre is designed to delight and intrigue your imagination.
