2012: Chekhov Celebration
Some call him the greatest playwright since Shakespeare. No matter which side of that argument you take, (feel free to weigh in on the poll at the left) PICT's festival makes a compelling case for his genius. Four unique productions - 37 days of festival performances and special events to help you discover – or rediscover – what is so special about Chekhov.
FOUR PRODUCTIONS:
THREE SISTERS, translated by Paul Schmidt. Directed by Harriet Power (July 19-August 26)
IVANOV, U.S. premiere of Tom Stoppard's adaptation. Directed by Andrew S. Paul (August 2-25)
After Chekhov - 2 Brian Friel plays, The Yalta Game and Afterplay, based on Chekhov characters (August 10-26)
Funny Chekhov - Five funny short plays and vaudevilles that rarely see professional production (August 17-25)
