Description

Middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia live in the family home in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. After spending their adulthood looking after their now-dead parents, neither has a job, and money is provided by their movie-star sister Masha, who owns the house and pays the bills. When Masha visits home with a new boy-toy Spike in tow, familiar Chekhov themes of lost opportunity, failed love affairs, sibling rivalry and fear of a changing future are thrown into the blender with 21st-century characters and high comedy to produce a uniquely hilarious play!

Definitely worth the lovely walk out via Stockbridge. A clever play, well acted. We were captivated. A member of the cast was ill and someone read it. She was fabulous and it just added to the comedy. Perhaps could be a little shorter. Huge thanks, a fun evening

This was a fine, well delivered play. Humorous and most enjoyable. Would strongly recommend.

Plenty of laughs in this polished production from the ever-reliable ETA. Two hours well spent, and well worth the trip to Comely Bank.
