Drama / 9 m., 6 f. / Var. sets. In rural Russia in the mid
nineteenth century, a brilliant, anarchic young medical student
arrives at the provincial family villa of his best friend, Arkady,
for the summer vacation. He wants to despise the family for their
imperturbable complacency and bourgeois effeteness, but he is
tormented by conflicting emotions. His desperate action has tragic
consequences. "The evening leaves you pondering not just the play's
political implications but the ageless tragedy of parent child
relationship." London Guardian . "Drama at its most stimulating and
eloquent... has the density, complexity and richness of a great
19th century novel without the usual creaking stage mechanism of
dramatized fiction." N.Y. Daily News. "A fine, solid piece of drama
not just about the divisions between the different generations but
also about nihilism, revolution and the immutability of love." Time
Out. FEE: $75 per performance.
