Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike

  • By Christopher Durang
  • Directed by Justin Ness

A humorous adaptation of themes present in the plays of Anton Chekhov.

After spending most of their adult lives caring for their now deceased parents, middle-aged Vanya and Sonia have never had jobs and still live in their childhood home. When their movie star sister Masha breezes into town with her hot young boyfriend Spike, suspicions rise that she intends to sell the family home and pull the plug on financially supporting her brother and sister. Now the family must fight to reconcile their differences and find new optimism from over the hill. Winner of the 2013 Tony award for Best Play, VANYA and SONIA and MASHA and SPIKE is a tongue-in-cheek take on Chekhovian futility with a heart-warming finish. Though the character names and setting come from his work, no familiarity with Chekhov is needed to enjoy this expertly crafted comedy.
