The Friel Deal - Two Plays After Chekhov
7 Stages
1105 Euclid Avenue Atlanta, GA 30307
ArĂs presents an evening of two exquisite one-act plays by award winning Irish playwright Brian Friel adapted from works by renowned Russian playwright Anton Chekhov. In The Bear,a young widow has shut herself off from the world to mourn her late husband. Her solitude is interrupted by her scandalously rude neighbor, Gregory Smirnov, a garrulous (but strangely attractive) bear of a man who turns her quiet life upside down! In The Yalta Game inspired by Chekhov's short story, The Lady with the Lapdog, we find philanderer, Gurov, on retreat in Yalta, busily ascribing scandalous fictions to each passer-by - the game of the title. When Anna enters the picture, she is seduced into playing along, and while their love affair develops, along a seesaw of guilt and passion, the status of reality itself begins to warp between them.
