Chekhov! 3 Farces
The Bear, The Proposal,
and The Ravages of Tobacco

By Anton Chekhov

A new translation by Stepan Simek

with Sammy Rat Rios, Jacob Coleman, Michael O'Connell and Stepan Simek

February 21st - March 9th, 2025

Think you know Chekhov? Think again.

His four major plays were built upon the robust and rough foundation of his earlier farces. The comedic style is fierce, broad and impassioned. We’re putting up three all in one evening: The Bear, The Proposal, and The Ravages of Tobacco.
