Event Description

A timeless work of Neil Simon, paying tribute to the prolific Anton Chekov, now adapted to the Indian Milieu.

An unidentified writer, channelling Chekhov’s artistic temperament, struggles with writer`s block while sharing tales of human folly. In "The Sneeze," a government clerk's nervous breakdown follows an accidental sneeze on his superior. In "Surgery," a clergyman grows terrified as a dentist's enthusiasm escalates during a tooth extraction. "The Seduction" tells of a charming man who manipulates his friend into unwittingly aiding his pursuit of the friend`s wife. Finally, in "A Defenceless Creature," a woman confronts a lecherous banker to extort money for her sick husband. Each vignette explores the absurdities of human nature with humor and pathos.
