About the Performance
An extraordinary encounter between two of Chekhov's lost souls. You may have met Sonya before in Uncle Vanya and Andrey in The Three Sisters. Both characters are now middle-aged, but cannot escape the baggage of their earlier lives; Andrey is still confused and living in a remote rural town; Sonya continues to pine over the local doctor.
The two characters meet by chance in a café and as we follow their sometimes stilted conversation, we slowly discover the fate of both their families.
'Remarkable... takes us close to the heart of Chekhov.' The Guardian
'Beautifully performed... superb' The Australian
