3. THE BEAR - TORONTO
-------------------------------

Preface Theatre presents The Bear  by Anton Chekhov translated by Paul
Schmidt

Starring: David Ferry, Robert Nasmith and Nicole St. Martin 

Directed by Christopher Morris
Set & costumes designed by Gillian Gallow
Stage manager: Annie McWhinnie

Supported by: The Toronto Arts Council and the AGO

In The Bear, an enraged creditor falls spontaneously and passionately in
love with his debtor's young widow as she vehemently refuses to pay her
dead husband's debt.  The Bear condenses so much of human nature into
this bizarre and ultimately triumphant play.  Witty, rife with
characteristically Chekhovian insight, and hysterically funny, this
short one-act play has been adapted for the stage by renowned translator
Paul Schmidt.

Preface Theatre's mandate is to bring together both experienced and
emerging artists to share traditions, skills, ideas and inspiration in
order to create a positive and creative theatrical process. Through this
union, Preface Theatre strives toward a rooted cultural identity as
Canadian artists and, in the exploration of varied artistic forms, to
produce theatre that is accessible to a broad spectrum of audiences. 

Tickets:          $20/$16 AGO members, seniors, students, groups, and
CAEA members

Tickets include admission to the AGO.
