What I liked
All the physical mime and clown bits were excellent. It reminded me a lot of Bob Odenkirk and Emo Philips if they were more physical.
What I didn't like
I think it went on about five minutes too long, but I also think that’s the fault of the script itself just being repetitive. It was still entertaining the entire time.
My overall impression
I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure I was going to like this. I’ve read A LOT of Chekhov and seen depressingly little of it and this was never my favorite piece. Chekhov is (similar to Brecht, but in a different way) really hard for Americans. BUT… this delighted me. Very smart choice on Brian Byrne’s part taking advantage of the play’s public domain status and making it his own. It was just delightful.
