The Brute and Other Farces

Playhouse West presents The Brute and other farces by Anton Chekhov. Lois Grandi directs.

The one-act comedies of Russia’s greatest dramatist are rendered in classic lively translations which both audiences and scholars applaud. The blustering stuttering eloquence of Chekhov’s unlikely heroes has endured through the years to shape the voice of contemporary theatre. These minor masterpieces include: Swan Song, A Marriage Proposal, The Harmfulness of Tobacco, The Brute.
