Chekhov's piquant blend of laughter & absurdity.
An acclaimed UK comedy cast of actor-musicians concoct an evening of absurd delight, interspersed with silly songs of the Russian steppes and the Plain of the Po. Before writing his famous plays, Anton Chekhov was known first as a writer of vaudevilles, short comedies on themes of love, marriage and domestic absurdity. The Bear, Swansong and The Evils of Tobacco, are three of his finest, funniest vaudevilles. This stylish, uproarious new production created by UK comedy veterans premiered in Milan in January 2024 to great acclaim.
