Been presents a summer sketch program, where two lively performers treat you to three different one-act plays, loosely based on shorter works by Anton Chekhov.
In ‘Over de schadelijkheid van tabak,’ a man, under his wife's orders, delivers an animated lecture on the harmfulness of tobacco. In ‘Treurspeler tegen wil en dank,’ the overworked Sonja vividly vents about her impending burnout. In ‘Voor de verduistering,’ we meet the sun and the moon, both slightly tipsy, at the transition from night to day.
The dynamic between two partners - lovers, friends, colleagues - is always central. A wrench is thrown into the works, mutual empathy fails, and this leads to tragicomic scenes. Expect relatable situations, endearing characters, and a humorous take on our capricious human nature.
