Description

Stephen Karam is known for his dedication to exploring the idiosyncrasies of human speech and behavior -- the subtleties, the depth, and the awkward minutia. With this new adaptation of Chekhov’s canonical masterpiece about a family on the brink of bankruptcy, Karam's fluid style finds a harmonious fit with the work of the master playwright.
