They can all go to hell.' - Anton Chekhov During the turmoil of the Russian Revolution in 1917, Maria Chekhov, Anton's sister, placed many of her late brother's 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, it's generally dismissed as unstageable. Like life. A new play by Dead Centre, creators of the OBIE / Fringe First winning LIPPY. 410 0$aOberon Modern Plays. 606 $aDrama$zGreat Britain$vPlays 615 0$aDrama 676 $a891.735 700 $aDead Centre$01515513 702 $aDead Centre 801 0$bUkLoBP 801 1$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796334603321 996 $aChekhov's first play$93751324 997 $aUNINA
