Chekhov's Shorts - 2011

Chekhov's Shorts - Spring 2011

A revival of our most popular show, touring to 45 venues in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland with a cast of Richard Latham, Vivienne Rowdon and John O’Connor. Directed by Jonathan Kemp.

This is the kind of show that makes you want to fight tooth and nail for UK arts funding. A company performing little-known material in a provincial venue – and every single member of the capacity audience having a better time than they would in the West End. Three superb actors canter gleefully through five of Chekhov’s early one-act comedies. All are performed with breathless élan, exquisite comic timing and a full engagement with the Russian spirit. - Venue Magazine

Last night's selection at the Brunton of five of Chekhov's early short plays provided plenty of laughs and not a little insight into the workings of the Russian playwright's lesser works.  All five plays zipped along nicely, played with just the right level of enthusiastic comedy to make them accessible to modern ears. - Edinburgh Evening News

This programme of short Chekhov plays, presented by European Arts Company, offers a pleasingly warm, human and welcoming experience to audiences in venues across the UK.  The three-strong company deliver these well-shaped little plays with a spirit and industry that is hard to resist. - The Scotsman
