The world of Chekov’s contemporaries masterfully recreated in the script by the genius playwright is vividly staged by the esteemed theater director Aleksey Burago of The Russian Arts Theater & Studio. It’s an all too familiar story of the misunderstandings and missed opportunities accentuated by the ultimate insensitivity and selfishness of the characters tied together by circumstances and family connections.

Ranging from the veteran theater actors to those who are just launching their artistic careers, the cast in this enthusiastic and engaging production makes Chekhov’s drama accessible and relatable. And while each of character is thinking of doing good to others, egotism subverts their actions and leads to a disastrous finale.
