Chek-Mate - Two Comic Vaudvilles by Anton Chekhov - The Boor, and The Proposal.

The Boor was Chekhov's first big popular success, and appears here in an updated version of Julius West's early translation. The Proposal is possibly Chekhov's most ridiculous piece, and this is a brand new translation from the original Russian by Polina Shafran.

The Boor, adapted by Shafran & French.
The Proposal, translated by Polina Shafran.

Starring Gerry Rose, Polina Shafran, and Tom Pettey.

Directed by Martin French
