In a work that remained untitled and went undiscovered until 1923, two decades after his death, Anton Chekhov turns a farcical eye to a Russian retelling of the story of Don Juan. Although written while he was still a medical student, prior to becoming a master dramatist, the Chekhovian markings of wit, rich characterizations and his thematic staples are aptly present in this tale of a new to town married schoolmaster and the bored provincial women who vie for his affection. It wouldn't be Chekhov without parties, suicide attempts, and affairs, blended together in a tragi-comedy, and this new, high energy adaptation has them all as it comically skewers the hypocrisy and frivolity of provincial life while exposing the passions and frailties of human nature.
