Platonov, an Unfinished Party -- Sizzler

Anton Chekhov’s unfinished early play is transfigured into a hilarious and moving tale of love and regret in this new Theatre Movement Bazaar adaptation produced by Los Angeles City College Theatre Academy.
This new work pulls the source out of late 1800’s Russia -- where class structures were breaking down and dramatic change approaching -- and sets it in a summer home on the East Coast of the United States, early 1960s. Society is shifting and a younger generation is gaining resolve as the foundation of balanced optimism of the 1950s shows its cracks. The main characters’ existential crisis is shadowed by the crisis of the Cold War. Over the course of one evening, the high hopes for a party amongst friends plunges into chaos and betrayal in this stylized and dynamic new play.
