“Visit of the Old Lady” at Chekhov Theater: show details, ticket info & more

The director of the show, Indra Roga, when asked about the relevance of the show today, states that the show raises a lot of questions that also evoke associations with today, adding that we get the feeling that we are right there with the same questions that Dirrenmatt himself once was, writing play.

Chekhov’s “Visit of the Old Lady” is called a tragic comedy, the title role is given to Dana Bjork, but her central partner in this play is the actor Rodion Kuzmin, who plays the character of Alfred Ill.

The actors of the Chekhov Theater are joined on stage by a number of guest artists: actor Mārtiņš Upenieks, circus artist Mariano Cronopio (Mariano Cronopio), singer Evilena Protector, artist Honge Zhang (Hongge Zhang) and several students of the Latvian Academy of Culture – future actors.

The play “Visit of the Old Lady” takes a new look at the leading theme of the season announced by the Chekhov Theater – “power”: it tells about the inevitability of revenge, about the power that anonymity gives to society, and also about the strangest forms of love.
