Synopsis:
Im having absolutely nothing to do with the theatre or the human race. They can all go to hell. – Anton Chekhov
During the turmoil of the Russian Revolution in 1917, Maria Chekhov, Antons sister, placed many of her late brothers manuscripts and papers in a safety deposit box in Moscow.
In 1921 Soviet scholars opened the box, and discovered a play. The title page was missing. The play they found has too many characters, too many themes, too much action. All in all, its generally dismissed as unstageable. Like life.
A new play by Dead Centre, creators of the OBIE / Fringe First winning LIPPY.
About the Author: Dead Centre make things in theatres. Formed in Dublin in 2012 by Bush Moukarzel, Ben Kidd and Adam Welsh, Dead Centre's first project, Souvenir, was created in Dublin in 2012, and then toured to London and New York. Their second project, (S)quark! happened once in Dublin on Bloomsday, and once in Russia at the Tolstoy Estate. Lippy premiered at the Dublin Fringe Festival 2013 and won Best Production and Best Design at the Fringe Awards, and Best Production at the Irish Times Theatre Awards.
