"The highlight of this little piece is Husain as Natalya. Husain is small but mighty. And her body language is perfect: exaggerated but not too much. It’s delightful. Obviously, The Proposal is farcical and both Rigg and Walters ham it up gleefully."
Jo Ledingham Theatre Reviews.

"Do you think I can fly away from my creditors in a balloon, or what? Or do you expect me to go and run my head into a brick wall? I go to Grusdev and he isn’t at home, Yaroshevitch has hidden himself, I had a violent row with Kuritsin and nearly threw him out of the window, Mazugo has something the matter with his bowels, and this woman has “a state of mind.” Not one of the swine wants to pay me! Just because I’m too gentle with them!"

ON THE GEORGIA STRAIGHT TODAY:
"Good things come in threes. Three bears; three little pigs; three fairies; three acts of a play; three 99s arriving at once after you’ve been waiting for 20 minutes. Now add Chekhov comedies to the list.

Helmed by veteran director William B. Davis, see why Chekhov’s plays still hold their appeal over 100 years later. The classics are beloved for a reason!"
