THE BEAR AND THE PROPOSAL
THE BEAR AND THE PROPOSAL Two short plays by Anton Chekhov in a hyper local adaptation by Estelle Shook and Company
July 9 to August 4
A HISTORICAL FICTION ROMANCE IN TWO ACTS…
A saucy take on Anton Chekhov’s hilarious plays, set in the Okanagan, circa 1800’s… peopled by the Indigenous and settler characters whose relationships were instrumental in establishing what we now know as the main cities and towns of the Okanagan. Featuring a Bridgertonesque contemporary pop score, and the spectacular, site specific staging for which Caravan Farm Theatre is renowned.
Age/Content Warning:The Bear and The Proposal, An Okanagan Wedding Party contains some mild explicit language and explores themes of colonization, gender politics, and matrimony.
If it were a television show it would be rated PG 13.
Running time: approx. 90 minutes, including one intermission
