Two by Chekov: A Reading of the Original Torn Page Translation

  • 435 W 22nd St New York, New York (map)

Tickets here. Join us at Torn Page for TWO BY CHEKHOV, a searing reading of two of Chekhov's brilliant one-act comedies THE BEAR and A MARRIAGE PROPOSAL.

In the early 70s, Rip Torn and Geraldine Page commissioned Muni Seroff to create a new translation of the Chekhov one-act comedies The Bear and A Marriage Proposal. The three acted together in a stage version of the plays called Marriage and Money, directed by Torn in venues such as The Philadelphia's Playhouse in the Park, Westport Playhouse and the Corning Summer Theatre before being filmed for PBS under the name Hollywood Television Theater: Two by Chekhov.

Recently unearthed from the extensive Geraldine Page archives at Yale's Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, the never-before-published translation has been freshly transcribed and ready to share.

With Vera Beren, Timothy Doyle, Con Horgan, Angelica Page and Tony Torn.

Tickets are pay what you wish with a suggested donation of $20.
