"Nobody wants to love the ordinary person in us." Three stories in three genres about ordinary people, united by a love for Anton Chekhov.
Directors Statement
"Chekhov was also a doctor!" - my mother, a surgeon, tried to convince me to go to medical school, playing her trump card. Chekhov was adored in our family. We read him aloud under the light of an oil lamp when the city's electricity was cut off. In roles, when we wanted to have fun. In the kitchen at night, when we couldn't fall asleep. Now I read him with my students and to my daughter. "Nobody wants to love the ordinary person in us" - does this resonate with you? Three short stories - three genres. With respect to Anton Pavlovich!
