Virtue, Desire, Death and Foolishness - an Evening of Tales from Anton Chekhov

Anton Chekhov loved people. He wrote hundreds of short stories. They came easily to him. These stories are filled with the compassion and humor of an observer who is both uncle and journalist, critic and poet, witnessing episodes in the lives of a vast array of flawed men and women. These stories most concisely express his sentiments about the human character: we are beautiful and ridiculous and funny and heartbreaking.
