Cast Creative Edit

A retired professor and his beautiful young wife return to the country estate left by his deceased first wife to find themselves overwhelmed by the stagnant inevitability of the rituals of their life and class and mercilessly taxed by the encroachment of age at the expense of youth. All of the play’s characters are plunged into that precarious state where, in famed dramatist Samuel Beckett’s words, “the boredom of living is replaced by the suffering of being.” Working from a literal translation, the iconoclastic American playwright David Mamet opens the way for a contemporary audience to establish immediate contact with a classic, infusing the power of Chekhov’s play with the potent precision of his own modern voice.
