“Based on three stories by Anton Chekhov”
The last play directed by Hanoch Levin. The plot follows three grieving characters: The Old Man, The Mother, and The Mule Driver, as they look for remedy from passers-by and confront the realities of death and the loss of their loved ones. Set in a small, desolate village, the play explores their struggles to find meaning in life amid sorrow; a poignant tale on mortality and the human condition.
