The Tony Award winner for Best Play of 2013, Christopher Durang’s hit Broadway satire skewers the classic dramas of Anton Chekhov through an absurdist tale of family dysfunction — but you don’t have to be a student of Russian literature to appreciate this zany farce. Step-siblings Vanya and Sonia live a quiet life in the Bucks County farmhouse where they grew up. But when their movie star sister Masha returns home unannounced with Spike, her 20-something boy-toy, an unforgettable weekend ensues. See this tale of sibling rivalry, regret and raucousness in this hilarious production at Lucie Stern Theatre in Palo Alto.
