This one-act play inspired by Anton Chekhov’s 19th century short story, “The Mire” spins a stark tale of a young Jewish Russian Émigré, Svetalana Moiseyevna—eccentric, enchanting and poetic, who captures the heart of a renegade Lieutenant and debt-collector, James Perso Arrivederci. The play is an explosively, liberating, funny and maniacal assault on the banality of materialism, and the hypocrisy of war—ultimately, a celebration of unearthly, unexpected and untimely love.

Lyrics
by Mae Richard; Music by John Cliffon; Book by Bob Griffiths A rollicking
musical about human nature, hypocrisy, and the joys of come-uppance. Hadleyburg, 1905. Apple-pie America, where good people always do the right thing- until they're forced to reveal that the apples are rotten and the pie's half baked. A rollicking musical about human nature, hypocrisy and the joys of come-uppance.
