A Vaudeville brings the comedic short stories of literary master Anton Chekhov to the stage in an original translation and adaptation by Diane Benedict.
In “The Bear” Popova has locked herself in the house since her husband’s death. Unable to pay her dead husband’s debt, she is embroiled in an argument with a creditor, Smirnov.
In “The Marriage Proposal,” a long-time neighbor, Lomov, asks Stepan for his daughter, Natalya’s, hand in marriage.
Woven cleverly through the two one-acts is Chekhov’s well-crafted short story, “The Bet.” A lawyer and a banker who concoct a bet with one another regarding whether or not life in prison was better than receiving the death penalty. This is a show you do not want to miss!
The show runs - August 30th, 31st September 1st, 5th, 7th, 8th, 13th, 14th,15th, 19th and the 20th.
