Whether you love the works of Russian playwright Anton Chekhov or hate them, you can’t help but enjoy The Chekhov Dreams, a dark and witty world-premiere rom-com by John McKinney. Presented at Theatre Row by Off-Axis Productions in association with Off The Leash Productions, the story examines the psychology of love, life, loss, and dreams, in a clever contemporary mash-up of Chekhov’s The Seagull and Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen, with a wealth of references to other masterpieces of literature and the theater, method acting, and mystic realism thrown into the incisively amusing mix.
