Two bite-sized, comic, one-act plays by Anton Chekhov
Directed by Professor Thomas Power
October 1-4, 2009
Fiery women and bombastic men battle for love, lust and the last word in a pair of bite-sized, energetic Russian comedies from the pen of the master, Anton Chekhov. Hilarity ensues when an overbearing creditor hounds a young widow with no reason to grieve, and a declaration of love goes horribly wrong in two stories where romance and passion meet at the end of a barrel.
October 1, 2, 3 at 7:30 p.m. and October 4 at 2 p.m. in Russell Hall, on the Gorham Campus of the University of Southern Maine.
