Twenty years after we last encountered them in Chekhov’s plays, Sonya (Uncle Vanya) and Andrey (Three Sisters) cross paths one night in a run-down Moscow café. An open-hearted and masterful one-act play by the “Irish Chekhov” Brian Friel. Directed by Karen Case Cook and Starring Craig Smith & Elise Stone

“…beautifully and tenderly written…” —British Theatre Guide

“…infinitely gentle…” —Time Out (UK)

“Brian Friel’s audacious, Chekhovian epilogue is short, masterful and hilarious…prior knowledge of Chekhov is neither assumed nor required…Friel inhabits the characters so masterfully you are ultimately less preoccupied with the backstory than increasingly fearful for their future.” —Guardian (UK)
