The Actors Theater of Orcas Island announces seven performances of the Tony-winning comedy, “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike,” by playwright Christopher Durang.

The play opened on Broadway in 2013, received six Tony Award nominations and won for best play.  Durang was inspired by Russian playwright Anton Chekhov’s plays “The Seagull.”  “Three Sisters,”   “Uncle Vanya” and the comedy is a funny homage to Chekhov’s themes of heartbreak and hope.

Middle-aged siblings Vanya (Frank Michels) and Sonia (Lisa Spesard) share a home in Bucks County, Pa., where they bicker and complain about the circumstances of their lives. Suddenly, their movie-star sister, Masha (Luann Pamatian), swoops in with her new boy toy, Spike (Chris Dalla Santa). Old resentments flare up, eventually leading to threats to sell the house. Also on the scene are sassy maid Cassandra (Lesley Liddle), and a young aspiring actress named Nina (Adia Dolan). The play is directed by Doug Bechtel.

Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. at the Grange on Feb. 19, 20, 16, 27, and March 4, 5 and 6. Tickets are $10 at Darvills Book Store, www.orcasactors.com and at the door. Sexual innuendo and language may make this play unsuitable for younger children.
