About Love
by Elizabeth Newman
a new play adapted from Anton Chekhov’s story About Love
performed by Ali Watt
In this tragic and elegiac story, Alekhin poignantly shares with us his feelings for a married woman and also his logically reasoned decision, maintained over many years, not to declare them – it would be dishonourable to break up her family; her love might cool in the dullness of his own humdrum existence.
Trouble
by Elizabeth Newman
a new play adapted from Anton Chekhov’s In Trouble and A Troublesome Visitor stories
performed by Matthew Churcher
It is 1890 in a small-town in-between Moscow and St Petersburg, and we find Avdeyev crying and begging prison guards to help him as they escort him to his cell. Avdeyev has been found guilty of theft that very day and has been sentenced to exile in the province of Tobolsk.
