Smart subtext...excellent performances by the cast...and a solid execution make this a worthwhile show to go see

I left having really enjoyed The Chekhov Dreams...I note that this has been developed in past workshops and readings and I would like to encourage further productions as it is definitely worth it...

...excellent performances by the cast. Michael Gnat is the easy stand out as Anton Chekhov due to the complete absurdity of the role, but Jake Robards’s Jeremy is a great emotional center that holds the show together. Sutton Crawford and Carmit Levite’ both do a fine job representing Jeremy’s present and his past respectively and Matt Faucher does an admirable job as the abrasive Eddie, who has a point despite his personality flaws. Also of note is that the Jewel Box Theater is a small space and not particularly great for extensive scenic work (speaking from experience), but Jennifer Varbalow does a fantastic job dressing it.
