The Sneeze 2010 - Articles Page 1.8

Think you know Chekhov? Think again. THE SNEEZE, Michael Frayn's richly comic adaptation of the incomparable Chekhov's wild and witty vaudevillian vignettes, bounds across town and country, past rich and poor, with an improbable duel, a mismanaged marriage proposal, and, of course, a life-shattering sneeze along the way. This rollicking journey offers a different kind of "Chekhovian" world: one gone amok, awry, and askew—in all the best ways.
