Gather in the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse and discover a different side to seminal playwright Anton Chekhov as we bring some of his amazing Short Stories to life for one night only.
Most widely known for his haunting full-length plays like Three Sisters, Chekhov is also celebrated as a remarkable writer of short fiction, whose works have resonated with audiences around the world. This special event will showcase some of these brilliant tales.
A jealous lover celebrates her husband’s naming day party through gritted teeth.
A would-be Romantic’s skinny dip goes wrong.
A boy desperate for food has his first encounter with an oyster.
Step inside London’s only candlelit theatre and uncover glimpses into little worlds, intriguing personalities and simmering emotions from one of the most influential literary artists of his time.
In Chekhov’s Short Stories, we also celebrate Constance Garnett, the pioneering female writer and translator who first brought Chekhov to the English-speaking world in the nineteenth century.
Looking for more Chekhov? Book tickets to the world premiere of a new version of his searing masterpiece Three Sisters, translated by Rory Mullarkey and directed by Caroline Steinbeis in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse from 31 January.
