About the Event
European Arts Company returns with a hugely entertaining collection of classic one-act farces by Anton Chekhov, including The Evils of Tobacco, The Dimwit, The Bear, Swan Song and The Proposal.
This is Chekhov as you’ve never seen him before – funny! Originally performed in Russian vaudeville theatres, these bittersweet plays are Chekhov at his comic best - before The Seagull got stuffed, Uncle Vanya fired blanks, The Three Sisters started moaning and The Cherry Orchard was ‘car-parked’.
Reviews
"Chekhov wasn't all doom and gloom! European Arts Company’s production of Chekhov Shorts is fast-paced, witty and engaging" - The Stage
Audience reviews:
"I went to Chekhov’s Shorts at the Rondo in Bath last Thursday. Great show! I couldn’t stop laughing. The cast were great."
"Bravo to all for a wonderful evening at the theatre last night in Musselburgh. My daughter and I had a super night. All of the plays were so refreshing and individual it was a real tonic to watch."
