A Backyard in Phinney Ridge
A Backyard in Phinney Ridge
A young artist stages an experimental production in his backyard, a famous Russian actress visits her family in provincial America, and everyone is in love with each other.
For the first show in our second season, Dacha returned to our roots with a multilingual, backyard take on The Seagull by Anton Chekhov. We combined parts of existing translations, our own translation, bits of the original Russian text, and new whimsical additions to create a “tra-daptation” of Chekhov’s Chaika.
Our audiences enjoyed this Russian classic in a very familiar setting — an early autumn evening in a Phinney Ridge backyard.
