Guild Festival TheatreThe Classics for the Modern Theatre Lover




"...a comedy with a terrific pace, lots of energy...yet a keen ear for the dialogue. John Jarvis was lovably inept as Gaev."
- Leslie Barcza, barczablog.com

"a lively, fast-paced spectacle that brings the essence of Chekhov's pastoral bourgeois drama to life. - - A lovely balance between light comedy and class-based tragedy. - - A cast that shines as they blend a form of flighty comic realism with lilting playful physicality...cavorting around a gorgeous outdoor space."
-David Bateman, batemanreviews.blogspot.com/

"This new theatre project deserves to succeed. Eirik has entered new territory with
outdoor Chekhov."

- Paula Citron, Classical 96.3 FM
