Anton Chekhov is most famous for his dramas, including The Seagull. Western Reserve Playhouse, which produced that show virtually in October, is now jumping into the turn-of-the-century playwright s comedies with the three shorts On the Harmful Effects of Tobacco, The Bear and The Swan Song.
The night of Russian comedic sketches, dubbed Fragments of Farce, will run at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Stories about human foibles include a man whose speech about the evils of tobacco turns into a complaint about his overbearing wife; a man and a widow whose argument over money turns into a duel to the death, and possibly love; and a finale with a stage actor and servant discussing a life of theater.
