Event: Chekhov Comes to Mill Road

Covent Garden Drama Studio 58 Covent Garden, Cambridge, Cambs, United Kingdom

A demanding stranger comes to call. Send him on his way. But wait - is there more to him and his visit than meets the eye? So begins a Chekhov play which has been adapted for the Cambridge stage by award-winning local playwright Paul Crossley. This, together with his version of another Chekhov comedy, will form a double bill of plays re-imagined for the city - and, specifically, the area around Mill Road.
