Chekhov in hell
“I don’t know who he is but he’s old, he’s got to know stuff…he’s got to be like wise and stuff yeah?”
Anton Chekhov awakes, after a 100 year sleep, in the 21st century in an NHS hospital. What would the great Russian writer Anton Chekhov, make of 21st century Britain? How would he respond to fashion designers, Internet gurus, hip-hop stars and uber-trendy restaurateurs? Dramatist Dan Rebellato, playfully poses these questions in his exhilarating satire, “Chekhov in Hell” at London’s Soho Theatre.
The Drum Theatre Plymouth’s Artistic Director, Simon Stokes, directs Dan Rebellato’s whirlwind tour of modern day Britain.
