Neil Simon’s homage to Russian playwright, Anton Chekhov, who claimed all Chekhov’s plays were comedies! This crowd-pleasing play is sometimes farcical, sometimes comical, sometimes poignant… the humor infectious, and the fun unending. The play consists of a series of sketches, narrated by a character called The Writer, who introduces the stories, comments on them, and occasionally plays a role in them. In one sketch a neurotic government clerk sneezes on a General during an opera performance, with spectacularly unfortunate results. In another, a crafty seducer sets his sights on a wedded woman, with the unwitting aid of her husband. Let us not forget the ridiculous tale of a man who offers to drown himself for three rubles. Animated by Simon’s rapid-fire one-liners and witty dialogue, the nine sketches illuminate Chekhov’s take on the human condition.
