The Nichols Upper School Theatre program will present “Three Farces and a Funeral,” adapted by Robert Brustein, based on the life and work of Russian playwright Anton Chekhov. Three of Chekhov's most beloved and hysterical farces, “The Proposal,” “The Bear” and “The Wedding,” are intercut with “knee plays” between Anton Chekhov and his wife Olga Knipper, an actress with the Moscow Art Theater, based on actual letters exchanged by the famous couple.
Come to the theatre expecting to laugh. Directed by arts department chair and actress Kristen Tripp Kelley and stage managed by junior Sebastian Augustine, the production will feature students from all Upper School grade levels. Christopher Cavanagh will design and dance teacher Elaine Gardner will choreograph. Gardner also is director and choreographer of the Nichols Dance Ensemble and founder of Pick of the Crop Dance.
