EXTEMDED FOR 4 MORE PERFORMANCES THRU NOV 18!
A classic tale of madness, alienation, and moral responsibility.
Written in 1892, Chekhovs story is set in a shoddy provincial hospital in the remote backwoods of the Russian countryside. Within the hospital, there is a special ward for the mentally insane, Ward 6.
Dr. Andrei Ragin is the director of the hospital, and the story concerns a strange friendship that develops between the doctor and Ivan, a remarkable inmate he encounters in the mental ward. Ivan suffers from persecution mania. But he opens the doctors eyes, and his heart, to the suffering and corruption going on all about.
Others in the hospital, however, begin to regard the budding friendship between Dr. Ragin and his newfound friend as an alarming development. And they undertake a radical course of treatment.
