Blessed Unrest presents
Nick
A contemporary adaptation of Chekhov's Ivanov from the original Russian.  Nick Ivanov, a man of infinite promise and debt, is torn between his loving wife and the lusty daughter of his creditor. When his vodka swilling, poker playing, gun toting friends insert themselves into the intrigue, Nick gets pushed to the edge. Fiercely comic, electrifying and blatantly romantic, this is Chekhov as you never imagined.
