Chekhovs Shorts
Based on a selection of short stories by Anton Chekhov and adapted by Dean Gilmour and Michele Smith with the company, this first installment of the Chekhov Cycle has toured successfully to Vancouver, Edmonton, Hong Kong, Dartmouth and Montreal. Chekhov's Shorts played to sold-out audiences and won three Dora Mavor Moore Awards: Outstanding Actor, Outstanding Director, and Outstanding Production.
Chekhov's shorts was described as an intense experience you won't soon forget." by the Montreal Gazette. Based on five bittersweet short stories, Chekhov's On the Train provides the framework for this 90-minute one-act work. As the play opens, we see four passengers embark on a train voyage across Russia's frozen wastelands from Happy-Trach-Tarrach Station to the station known as Run-For-Your-Life. The passengers are a wonderful array of characters and slowly, their stories are revealed, hidden within each other like matrioshkas.
