Chekhov Shorts
Anton Chekhov
A Wild Boor
by Joseph Wallace, Anton Chekhov
Highlights
Synopsis
Chekhov wrote some five or six Short Plays, two of them uproarious farces.
In this play, he seems to ask his audience to cast off restraint and laugh with him at the stupidity and naivety, as well as good-heartedness, of the people he know so well.
In this adaptation, the volume of comedy is turned up even louder as Wallace cleverly infuses Vaudvillian flair and stage trickery, changing the way we see the poor, mourning widow and her hapless suitor forever.
Joseph Wallace is the author of the ever-popular Something's Rotten in the State of Denmark
