This timely comedy, written by Chris Durang, draws upon characters and themes from Anton Chekhov's plays. Exploring generational divides, assumed identities, growing older, and the carlessness of youth, the show won the Tony Award for Best Play in 2013 and went on to become the most produced play in America in the year that followed. It remains a popular show at regional theatres across the nation.
"HILARIOUS! A great leap of imagination! Brainy and witty and clever and cute. A hilarious mashup with endlessly inventive comic twists for an inspired cast led by Sigourney Weaver and David Hyde Pierce and another regal clown, Kristine Nielsen. Christopher Durang is a master of the whiplash one-liner. His surreal comedy of manners answers that perennial prayer for shows with higher aspirations than to pass themselves off as sitcoms."

"There's something deeply comforting about a master of antic psycho-comedy, delivering Chekhov's lost souls from their eternal misery. Durang plays with Chekhov like a self-amusing cat toying with a tangled string."
— Ben Brantley, The New York Times
"The Funniest Show in Town! Count on Christopher Durang to turn the vogue for Chekhov into a master class in comedy — one that, like the master invoked, has an emotional kick that lifts it to a very high level. Exhilaratingly funny."
— Gerard, Bloomberg News
