A lecture gone wrong becomes a wildly funny Chekhovian confession—with opera, live violin, and one spectacular unraveling.
Theater 86 Opens Its Doors Again!
Theater 86 is thrilled to welcome audiences into our new home—and to begin this exciting chapter with Anton Chekhov’s wickedly funny The Dangers of Tobacco.
A nervous lecturer steps before an audience to deliver a perfectly respectable talk. Under the watchful eye of his formidable wife, he promptly loses the subject, his composure, and very nearly his mind.
In Aleksey Burago’s bold two-actor interpretation, a lecture gone wrong becomes a hilarious and unexpectedly moving confession about marriage, misery, and the longing to be free.
Featuring acclaimed performers Tom Schubert and Elena Mindlina, with opera singing and live violin, this intimate theatrical pressure cooker is absurd, explosive, musical, and unmistakably human.
Be among the first audiences inside Theater 86’s new home as we open our doors and begin a new chapter.
Come for the reopening. Stay for the nervous breakdown.
Performed in English.
Doors open 30 minutes before a performance. Late comers will not be admitted. |
