In Chekhov’s comedy, two generations of an ineffectual aristocratic family move in contrasting directions when faced with financial ruin.The younger generation races passionately towards a new age while the older members struggle with their past. Death is never far away, though the characters embrace life; they sing, they dance and they talk.
