MORE INFORMATION:

CHEKHOV TIMES THREE
Chekhov perfected the art of interpreting human idiosyncrasies by parading characters who give the impression of being quite normal but actually being far from it. His one-act plays show a witty insight into human relationships and the deep yearning for a better life.
The Proposal depicts an event that should be full of joy and expectations: a marriage proposal. But whatever can go wrong goes wrong…. Burning passion turns to confusing discussions over landownership and, of all things, dogs. Love and greed return in The Bear. TUSK’s version of this well-loved Chekhov gem will be somewhat surprising, and will add an erotic tinge to the story of a widow and her debt-collector.

PETYA’S STORY World Premiere
A funny and moving story about three girls from Eastern Europe, trying their luck in London. They arrive in a dangerous world full of prejudices and scratch out a living while struggling to keep the golden promise of Western Europe alive. When one of them receives an offer from her hometown university, it changes their friendship forever. A new play by British writer Cheryl White, based in The Hague, about friendship, choices and loss.

This play will have its world premiere in EAST WEST EAST Theatre Festival in The Hague, featuring three young British actresses on the brink of their careers.
