For a long time I've been thinking of the farces by Chekhov. I dreamed I could present them in singular, selected places that were not necessarily dedicated to theater: Trestels, squares, castles, gardens, open-air places, front of churches, village halls. I have chosen three plays: The Harm done by Tobacco, The Marriage Proposal and The Bear. Chekhov,of course, is particularly good at them: they are aimed at a vast audience and, at the same time, as deep and ambitious as his great plays...
