Mountain Hotel
Translated by Jitka Martinova
Directed by Michael Gardner
Produced by The Brick Theater
The English language premiere
November 9 - November 26
Presented at the Brick Theater
Set in a Checkhovian countryside, the residents of a hotel sit and leisurely talk about almost nothing. One is having an affair, the other is desperately in love, and the people who run the hotel appear every once in a while and issue senseless edicts. The characters go round and round, repeating themselves in different ways as their identity slowly gets lost.
