Alces Productions presents The Chekhov story that the writer Vladimir Nabokov called ‘one of the greatest stories ever written’ returns to the UK stage in a full-length bittersweet romantic comedy transported to Jazz Age Britain. Damian Granville is a banker and devoted family man with an unconventional way of taking his summer holidays: he travels alone and looks for a woman to seduce. This particular year he spots a beautiful young lady walking a white Pomeranian dog. How can he resist? He’s a skillful player and sure of success. Except Anne Dennis isn’t quite what he bargains for. "Mark Giesser… recognises the responsibilities of taking on Chekhov demands and, with a dancer’s grace, solves them perfectly." Broadway World. Previous shows by Alces Productions at Upstairs at the Gatehouse: Sirens of the Silver Screen; Strike Up the Band; Once Upon a Mattress; Call Me Madam; Luck Be a Lady; How To Build a Better Tulip. Written and Directed by Mark Giesser
