The original play based on Chekhov's short story "The Lady with the Dog". The plot of the story is really simple: a vacation romance, an adulterous love affair.

Each of us often leads a double life, and sometimes this turns us into absurd and tragic characters. As Chekhov himself put it, "Everything is wonderful in this world. Everything except for our thoughts and deeds when we forget about the loftier goals of existence...".

The production of Unhappy Happiness represents a daring shift in style, space and time. What do flying cardboard boxes, southern sea beaches, wintry Moscow of the late 19th century, Soviet lyrical songs of the 1950s and 60s, and New York City's East Village have in common? See the play and find out.

This performance is in Russian.
