Anton Chekhov’s Wood Demon

New Orange Theatre Company (formerly Snow Dance Corp.) will present Anton Chekhov’s WOOD DEMON in a new adaptation by resident playwright Scout Backus. The company returns to East Village Basement (321 E 9th St, New York, NY 10003) following their run of Backus’ play Snow Dance earlier this year. This fresh adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s The Wood Demon follows the wealthy inhabitants of a random Russian forest as they navigate being stars of a brand new reality TV show, Serebryakov and Friends. Sexy, absurd, and possibly incestual, Scout Backus’ version of Chekhov’s biggest failure brings these characters to life and puts their flaws on the utmost display. WOOD DEMON, adapted by Scout Backus from Anton Chekhov’s play, The Wood Demon. Directed by Felicia Lobo. Assistant Directed by Charli Einhorn. Performed by Ariana Afradi*, Scout Backus*, Johnny Diaz, Caylie Filipa, Zachary Grant*, Emily James*, Jeffrey Robb, Riley Scott*, and Rutger Scott. [*] denotes member of AEA.
