Christopher Durang's witty mash-up of Chekhov characters and smart phones is a delightful new comedy for our hyper-connected era. Middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia live an angst-ridden, melancholic existence on their family farm. House cleaner-cum-soothsayer Cassandra, whose hilariously ambiguous prophecies keep them befuddled, provides the only break from monotony. That is, until their glamorous movie-star sister, Masha, swans in for a surprise visit-along with her hunky 20-something boy toy, Spike. Winner of 2013 Tony, Drama Desk, New York Drama Critics’ Circle and Outer Critics’ Circle best play awards.
Performances: June 8 – July 3
INTERNATIONAL CITY THEATRE at the Long Beach Performing Arts Center. 330 East Seaside Way, Long Beach, CA 90802
$35-$55
