With a setting in the late 1930’s Dymphna Cusack takes her audience deeply into the world of a girls’ college, where three teachers attempt to defend a student allegedly engaging in ‘immoral behaviour’. The action takes place over a few days in the hotbed staffroom, at a time in society when dedicated women were booted out of the teaching profession if they married or if their slightest moral indiscretion set off a landslide of innuendo.

This double bill of two short plays, written by Ireland's greatest living playwright Brian Friel, is based on a story and a one-act play by Anton Chekhov. In The Yalta Game, an innocent game at the famous Black Sea resort turns into a passionate affair for a Moscow bank clerk and a young married woman. In The Bear a man-hating widow and a woman-hating creditor square off over one of her deceased husband's debts. Both plays explore the love that affirms life in the face of convention and routine, the mundane and the commonplace.
A delightfully intriguing double-bill from Russia with love.
