THEATRE: An Evening with Chekhov (The Proposal / The Bear) - Hummingbird Theatre Company

Title: An Evening with Chekhov

Presented By: Hummingbird Theatre Company

Genre: Classic Theatre / Semi-Staged Reading

Synopsis: Join Hummingbird Theatre Company for a one-night-only presentation of two of Anton Chekhov’s most celebrated comic one-act plays: The Proposal and The Bear. What begins as a simple marriage proposal quickly descends into a ridiculous battle of pride, stubbornness and wounded egos, while a grieving widow and an irritable creditor find themselves locked in a fiery clash neither expects. Presented in an intimate semi-staged reading format, this special fundraiser celebrates Chekhov’s sharp wit, larger-than-life characters and enduring comic brilliance.
