Cabaret Chekhov

Zoo Roxy
17-23 August, 00.20

Entering the cavernous space at Zoo Roxy to hauntingly jaunty Russian music sets the scene for late night short stories, but if Cabaret Chekhov teaches us anything, it’s that the author’s tales are timeless enough to fit among any setting. Although there are eastern European accents aplenty, the company reveal the adaptability of Chekhov’s work – there’s even Welsh dialect at one point, which is a bit of a silly treat. Above all, Red Roses Theatre reveal something about Chekhov that is so often overlooked: his wonderful sense of humour.
