"With its Tony Award for Best Play, Christopher Durang's Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike presents the strongest comedy Broadway has to offer in a distinguished, sleekly professional production that makes the most of his frolicsome mash-up of melanchol
The Hollywood Reporter
Christopher Durang's wickedly funny and widely lauded play 'Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike' will make its Chicago debut at the Goodman Theatre this Spring. After its Broadway run in 2013, the production won the Tony Award for Best Play after making waves with its masterful blending of Chekov themes and characters as well as the universal themes of family and relationships.
While taking inspiration from the work of Anton Chekhov (see quarrelling siblings and melancholy), the production stands tall as its own unique take on the ties that bind - the audience does not need to be familiar with the great Russian playwright's works to enjoy and comprehend the unfolding chaos of this black comedy. This is where Durang's brilliance shines. While there certainly is a Chekhov "in joke" or two, the absurdist nature of the story will keep you in stitches.
Siblings Vanya and Sonia, named after Chekov's characters by their theatre-mad parents, have reached middle-age and are still living together, supported by their movie star sister Masha. Squabbling and passing the time unhappily, their bland and listless existence reaches entropy when Masha decides to visit, bringing along with her a dreamy boytoy named Spike and plenty of drama. Things reach boiling point when it is revealed that Masha intends to sell their house.
Vanya and Sonia are named after characters from the classic play Uncle Vanya, and its central themes of wasted youth, a life unlived and the search for happiness are also borrowed. Masha is named after the stubborn and short-tempered character from the play Three Sisters while Spike is the odd one out, a name that humorously contrasts with the theatrical legacy of the three siblings.
Opening night: 20 June 2015
