This is the best virtual theater I’ve seen all pandemic: chekhovOS/an experimental game/. Conceived and directed by Arlekin Players Theatre founder and artistic director Igor Golyak, this production melds live and pre-taped theater, video, film, and gaming technology into a hybrid that unlocks a new way of understanding the world of Chekhov’s plays, even as it satirizes the sometimes ostensibly bleak tone which the playwright calls “comedy.” I laughed at the premise from the get go: Chekhov’s characters are upset. They want an end to the misery perpetrated on them by the playwright. When actress Darya Denisova appears onscreen as Natasha our digital guide, she complains: “We were told these were comedies! But there is only tragedy! ” It’s a complaint I’ve heard as a critic many times about the grim outcomes in Chekhov’s “boring” plays where “nothing happens.” They can’t get to Moscow. They can’t save the cherry orchard. That seagull gets it every time. What’s so funny about that? Well, maybe plenty.
