Description

Heat, a villa, a knock. Pasha the chorus girl has a patron and a summer; the wife at the door has a name and a scene. Chekhov’s Chorus Girl, unabridged in English, is a few minutes of class and panic, jewellery doing the talking, the ugly arithmetic of keeping a life. Two women, one man offstage. No sermon — only the scene, spoken mean, a summer bargain while the husband is still out. A Black Sea villa, a handful of minutes, a bargain you can hear click shut.
