Chekhov’s classic tale of insanity and ruthless ambition is brought to the stage in this slick and energetic interpretation by DogOrange. Highly physical and original, this adaptation is both entertaining and tragic as the concepts of alienation and the stigmas that still surround mental health are performed with passion and sincerity. This is a provocative and striking production.
