Chekhov at the Hycroft

The Bear and The Proposal by Anton Chekhov

Dynama Theatre and The Vancouver Classic Theatre Society.

Experience these two comedic & passionate one-act plays before the exquisite, Edwardian backdrop of the Drawing Room at Hycroft Manor.

The Bear: A young widow is determined to live out her days in solitude. When a landowner drops in to collect a debt owed by her late husband, their encounter escalates into a heated argument, sparking a ferocious battle of the sexes.

The Proposal: A devout hypochondriac is on a mission to propose to his unsuspecting, anxiety-ridden neighbor. Moments away from popping the question, the re-emergence of a long-standing land dispute sends the whole thing sideways. This amusing satire exposes the brutal truth that often lies hidden in the blurred lines between love and marriage.

Site-specific and classy, two of theatre’s greatest comedic works performed within the grandeur of the Hycroft. Sounds like a perfect Spring evening.
