Anton in Show Business
"While the yarn about three actresses who land roles in Anton Chekhov's The Three Sisters is spun [onstage], a fourth character, Joby, perches elbow-to-elbow with the audience in the second row, taking copious notes. She breaks the fourth wall when she challenges the actresses, 'Isn't this a little self-referential?' Perhaps it is, but's it's so well done and great fun that it is of no matter...If you are unfamiliar with Chekhov's brilliantly insightful drama about three angst-y sisters who rail against the cosmos yearning to know why we are made to suffer, it could be difficult to ascertain just how clever Anton in Show Business really is...
...Director F. Reed Brown has staged this savvy, savage backstage comedy with a sure hand and a sharp wit, and Anton in Show Business provides and engaging evening of thoughtful entertainment." –Marcia Weiss, The Pantagraph, reviewing the performance at Heartland Theatre Company in Normal, Illinois
