Production synopsis A highly entertaining evening of three comic shorts from the pen of Anton Chekhov, revelling in the broad comedy of human behaviour.
“Drama” – A famous writer takes deadly, drastic action when driven to distraction by an ambitious playwright’s reading of her ghastly play.
“Swan Song” – A melancholy ageing actor is perked up by memories of his past glories and decides that there is life in the old dog yet.
“The Proposal” – A farce on the preposterous business of courtship and marriage.
Approximate running time 90 minutes. Please be aware that this production does not have an interval
