A Rukus in the Country (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798316155729)

This theatrical adaptation is derived from four of Anton Chekhov's comical short plays. The unifying factor of the hilarious action of this play is derived from a lecture at a country assembly. The conceit of a simple, rural man being forced by his wife to give a lecture serves as the spine of action. This reluctant orator's ramblings stray off topic into gossip about those in his community, resulting in dramatizations that poke fun at such human foibles as prejudice, misogyny, arrogance, stubbornness and pride. All of which are hilariously provided within the classical comic devices of misunderstanding, exaggeration and the battle of the sexes.
