Ivanov at Royal Family Theater

IVANOV by Anton Chekhov

adapted & directed by Laura Strausfeld

with Sam Underwood

In just a year, Nikolai Ivanov—mid-30s, once charismatic and admired—has become beleaguered and depressed, and he’s determined to figure out why. This faithful, fast-paced adaptation of Chekhov’s tragicomedy examines how passion curdles into burnout.
