Ivanov Adaptation NICK Makes World Premiere At Interart Theatre 5/28-6/15

Blessed Unrest, Winner of the 2008 NY Innovative Theatre Award for Outstanding Production of a Play presents the World Premiere of NICK, A contemporary adaptation of Chekhov's Ivanov from the original Russian by Laura Wickens

Nick Ivanov, a man of infinite promise and debt, is torn between his loving wife and the lusty daughter of his creditor. When his vodka swilling, poker playing, gun toting friends insert themselves into the intrigue, Nick gets pushed to The Edge. Fiercely comic, electrifying and blatantly romantic, this is Chekhov as you never imagined.

Nick will run for three weeks at the InterArt Theatre, 500 West 52nd Street, just west of Tenth Avenue in Manhattan (Subways: 1, C, E to 50th Street; N, R, W to 49th Street; B, D, E to 7th Avenue) from Thursday, May 28 through Monday, June 15.
