Ophelia&rsquo\;s Jump Productions opens its 4th season with Christopher Durang&rsquo\;s 2013 Tony award winning play\, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike\, directed by company co-founder\, Caitlin Lopez. The production plays February 5-21\, 2016 at The Theatre Company Performing Arts Studio\, 1400 N. Benson\, Upland.
\n\nIn Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike\, master of comedy\, Christopher Durang\, takes characters and themes from Chekhov\, pours them into a blender and mixes them up. The utterly hilarious and occasionally touching result is his latest play set in present day Bucks County\, Pennsylvania.
\n
\nVanya and his stepsister Sonia have lived their entire lives in their family'\;s farmhouse. While they stayed home to take care of their ailing parents\, their sister Masha has been gallivanting around the world as a successful actress and movie star\, leaving Vanya and Sonia to feel trapped and regretful. Their soothsayer/cleaning woman Cassandra keeps warning them about terrible things in the future\, which include a sudden visit from Masha and her twenty-something boy toy Spike. \;
&ldquo\;Rarely has middle-aged despair over dashed dreams and squandered hopes been put to more hilarious effect than in &lsquo\;Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike\,&rsquo\; Christopher Durang'\;s giddy farce on Chekhovian themes that won the Tony for best play.&rdquo\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; - \; Charles McNulty\, LA Times
