DOUBLE BILL OF TWO CHEKHOV SHORT PLAYS – THE PROPOSAL and THE BEAR
 
The School of Arts Community Theatre Inc. takes great pleasure in presenting two of the best loved of Chekhov’s one-act plays.
 
After conducting auditions in June, director Margaret Bannister filled the all roles and reports that she is delighted with the casts.  “They are fantastic.  Audiences are in for a rare treat!!” she reported.  Casts are
 
The Proposal
 
Chukukov                                  Trevor Dawson
 
Natasha                                    Monique Phillips
 
Lomov                                       Bill Turner
 
 
The Bear
 
Luka                                         Michael Luckins
 
Mrs Popov                                 Lizzie Fletcher
 
Smirnov                                     Leigh Ladd
 
 
The Proposal and The Bear are two of Chekhov’s best loved one-act plays, where gentle humor is used to explore the pitfalls of human interaction, attraction, love and mutual misunderstanding.
 
Falling, as they do, between Chekhov’s short stories and the three act plays, they reflect aspects of both – the succinct brevity of the short stories, and the beginnings of exploration of major themes that are re-worked and expanded in the longer plays. 
 
The plays are scheduled to run four consecutive Sundays only, that is 1st, 8th, 15th and 22nd August, with two performances a day, 3.00 p.m. and 8.00 p.m. in the Basement Theatre. 
 
You will be guaranteed a thoroughly enjoyable theatre experience, so make sure you don’t miss these delightful plays.
 
Bookings are available at the Civic Theatre Booking Office, Phone (02) 6929 9688 or at the door.
