Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike - Bromley Little Theatre
Monday 15 September 2025
19:45 to 21:45
By Christopher Durang
Directed by Jessica-Ann Jenner
By arrangement with Music Theatre International and Josef Weinberger
Vanya and his sister Sonia live a quiet life in the Pennsylvania farmhouse where they grew up. But their sister Masha escaped many years ago and became a famous movie star. When Masha returns unannounced with her twenty-something ‘toy-boy’, Spike, so begins a rollicking weekend of rivalry, regret and all-too true premonitions. It is both a homage to, and a spoof of, the great 19th-century Russian playwright Anton Chekhov, replete with the master’s brooding and regretful characters, but also with Snow White plus dwarfs, a young man who persists in throwing off his clothes, and a housekeeper consumed by incantations and voodoo. This irresistible comedy is one of the most lauded and beloved Broadway plays of recent years. It blends Chekhov’s famous ennui with the modern-day concerns of celebrity, social networking, and the troubling onset of middle age, into a laugh-out loud comedy. It won the 2013 Tony Award for Best New Play.
