Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike

By: Christopher Durang
Directed by: Zina Carmen

Middle aged siblings Vanya and Sonia live quietly until their glamourous older sister Masha returns with her toyboy Spike, threatening to sell the family home.

As resentments flare and eccentric visitors add chaos, this modern Chekhovian comedy blends family conflict, absurdity, and the surprising power of change.

Produced by arrangement with Origin Theatricals on behalf of rights owner.
