Details

Writing short stories has how Chekhov earned a living. He was prolific, writing over 400 short stories, and inspiring countless writers from Flannery O'Connor to Raymond Carver. Written with all the wit, humanity and insight of his theatre work, these short stories illuminate and add to our understanding of his plays. Created for The Studio space using actors from The Seagull and Cold Meat Party ensemble, Ward 6 will conjure up some of the voices, atmospheres and lives from these stories.
