Chekhov's Chicks December 13, 2007

CHEKHOV’S CHICKS is a fun and touching retelling of Chekhov’s short story A Woman’s Kingdom with excerpts from Ivanov, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters, The Seagull and The Bear.

Anna Akimovna has a problem: she’s 26 and not married yet! What is she to do? As the female characters from Chekhov’s major plays take turns telling Anna their stories of love, they reveal the wit and humor of the master playwright. From the youth Sasha, who can’t but help loving a guy who’s bad to the bone, to the mature Irina Arkadina, who laments her man’s fickle gaze towards a younger pair of legs, to the three sisters who constantly yearn for a Moscow where the grass is always greener; these women explore common issues of marriage, money, family, work, and love.
