While Jane Martin’s Anton in Show Business is gracing our Main Stage, we invite you to enjoy a reading of the Chekhov masterpiece that inspired it. The daughters of the late General Prozorov are trapped in the backwater of a remote garrison town, dreaming of returning to their beloved Moscow, a city they barely remember from their childhood. In this, “the most moving of dramas,” a tragedy unfolds, revealing how “life is both nourished and poisoned by the act of hope itself.” (the Daily Telegraph)
