Ivanov, Part 2
A guy named David once said on Twitter: "This is as close as we're ever going to get to living in a Chekhov play. Nothing happens. Everything happens. Vodka, etc."
Acts 1 & 2 of our production of Chekhov's Ivanov. One of his earliest full-length plays, Ivanov is an excellent example of both Chekhov's poignant and comedic realism and the popular melodrama of his time. It's full of introspection, judgmental rich people, drinking, pranks, and juicy drama.
