Theatre Exile presents The Dangers of Tobacco by Justin Jain and Anton Chekhov as a part of Philly Grit, a series of shows by Philadelphia performers who step outside the boundaries of traditional theater to shine a bright light on our world. This Chekhovian one-act gets a wild, comedic overhaul, as a dusty old professor strays from his lecture and finds himself looking back at the ever-present “what could have been.” In this ultimate mash-up, Justin Jain also looks back as they deconstruct this classic text and explode the story into the familial tale of a first-generation queer Filipino-American. Justin explores the fine line between performer, character, and clown as they playfully entrance the audience with these intertwining stories.
