Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike

By Christopher Durang

Directed by Emily Gisler

January 20 - February 5

'Contains Strong Language'

Middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia share a home in Bucks County, PA, where they bicker and complain about the circumstances of their lonely lives. Suddenly, their movie-star sister, Masha, visits with her new boy toy, Spike, and invites them to a nearby costume party. Old resentments flare up, eventually leading to threats to sell the house. Also on the scene are sassy maid Cassandra, who can predict the future, and a lovely aspiring actress named Nina, whose prettiness somewhat worries the imperious Masha. Written by the author of Beyond Therapy and The Actor’s Nightmare, Christopher Durang puts themes and characters from the plays of Russian playwright Anton Chekhov into this witty comedy. However, one does not need to be Chekhov buff to fully enjoy this hilarious yet heartfelt show!
