NEVA

ENGLISH/SPANISH BILINGUAL EDITION

“Neva’s neobrutalist punch demonstrates . . . the enduring power of art.”

—Time Out New York

This politically charged, haunting and humorous play tells the story of three actors, including Anton Chekhov’s widow, who gather to rehearse scenes from The Cherry Orchard as Russia faces an impending revolution. A savage examination of the relationship between theater and historical context, Neva received its English-language premiere at The Public Theater in New York, directed by the author.
