CHEKHOV'S Shorts at the Swan Theatre in Worcester have nothing to do with the great man's summer beachwear.
Instead, they are an offering of short, one act farces from the pen of the celebrated Russian writer.
A spokesman said: "European Arts Company returns with a hugely entertaining collection of classic one-act farces by Anton Chekhov, including The Evils of Tobacco, The Dimwit, The Bear, Swan Song and The Proposal.
"This is Chekhov as you’ve never seen him before – funny."
The spokesman added: "Originally performed in Russian vaudeville theatres, these bittersweet plays are Chekhov at his comic best; before The Seagull got stuffed, Uncle Vanya fired blanks, The Three Sisters started moaning and The Cherry Orchard was car-parked."
The show comes to The Swan on Thursday, February 9, at 7.30pm.
Tickets on, 01905 611427.
