Brian Mertes, an amazing director and mind and man, with his wife Melissa Kievman, put up a Chekhov play at their house in Rockland County every summer. Just one week of rehearsal and one performance.
The community comes out, there's a potluck at intermission, it takes place outside, inside and around their house and this gorgeous lake, using the environment and the atmosphere. Anything goes. ASTONISHING! And Rob Campbell as Ivanov truly blew my fragile little mind.
