Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike

AUGUST 28, 2016 Cabot Theatre
Directed by Marcella Kearns Featuring Carrie Hitchcock, JJ Phillips, Rana Roman, Elodie Senetra, Jenny Wanasek and C. Michael Wright Vanya and his adopted sister, Sonia, are living out their middle age in an old farmhouse in Bucks County, PA, after years of caring for their ailing, Chekhov-loving parents. But their quietly tedious existence changes dramatically once their movie-star sister, Masha, swoops in with her twenty-something boy toy, Spike, for a weekend of wild costume parties, voodoo dolls and family feuds. In its own deliciously madcap way, Durang’s Tony Award-winning play not only offers endlessly inventive comic twists, but some keen insights into the absurdities, challenges and agonies of twenty-first-century life as well.
