A Marriage Proposal
The second play being cast is Chekhov's "A Marriage Proposal"
English version by Theodore Hoffman.
This fast paced "Joke in one act" sees hypochondriac Ivan Vassilevitch Lomov calling on his elderly neighbour Stepan Stepanovitch Chubokov, to ask for the hand of his daughter, Natalia Stepanovna, in marriage.
Hoffman dscribes the characters as...
Chubokov - a landowner, elderly, pompous but affable.
Lomov - healthy, but a hypochondriac; nervous, suspicious. Also a landowner. 35
Natalia - 25 but still unmarried.
