12 Chairs by Jesse Jae Hoon
Thursday, 13 June, 2024
Directed by Charlotte Murray Music from Mike O’Malley Sound Design by Nina Field Dramaturgy by Al Parker and Gabriella Steinberg Featuring Ben Langhorst, Angel Lin, Frankie Placidi, Amanda Centeno, Brandon Bogle, and Arielle Gonzalez Stage Managed by Alyssa Rios Sound Operated by Prince Bawuah Former nobleman Ippolit Mateyevich Vorobyaninov’s dreary life in the early Soviet Union is about to change forever when he discovers his spiteful mother-in-law hid the family jewels in one of their dining room chairs before the Revolution. Together with a dashing con artist, Vorobyaninov must embark on an epic quest across Russia to recover the lost riches. Based on the 1928 novel by Ilya Ilf & Evgeny Petrov, 12 Chairs is an epic adventure satire exploring glory, greed, and a country desperate for the advancement of the collective good. It is a commentary on the Soviet Union and nothing else. Yeah, nothing else. You can’t prove otherwise, you haven’t even seen it. Wow, maybe you should see the play before contradicting us, you ever think about that? Wow. There’s always one. Do better. 12 CHAIRS was recorded live in June 2023. Learn more about your ad choices.
