CHEKHOVIA : SCENES BY ANTON CHEKHOV TRAILER

“ Why do you always go around in black.. ..If only we knew. If only we knew! ...I’m mourning my life... Moscow Moscow Moscow... Father’s been dead a year now!... Oh, my days of innocence, my wonderful days of innocence.... I am a seagull.... My life has passed me by as if I’d never lived....You nincompoop....”
To those familiar with the works of Anton Chekhov these iconic and often quoted words could in themselves be sufficient to transport them straight back into the enchanting world of the Russian master. To those less familiar with his works, the dedicated students of Fonact hope that presenting this helter-skelter ride through some of his most famous scenes will captivate, enlighten and amuse.
