Chekhov in Hell by Dan Rebellato

Instead of dying in Germany in 1904, Russian playwright Anton Chekhov awakens from a 100-year coma in London in 2010. Rudely thrust into a 21st century reality, Chekhov experiences technology, celebrity, feng shui, social media, cultural appropriation, support groups, human trafficking and an array of characters who are as lost as he is.

Dan Rebellato's CHEKHOV IN HELL is a funny, fast-paced and thought-provoking journey through today's complex and self-centred reality, as it hurtles towards oblivion.

“Acerbic and clever, gutsy and genuinely felt, Chekhov in Hell flits deftly between agonising irony and chipper farce as it takes on social media, fashion, futurology and gastronomy and reduces them all to banalised rubble” - Exeunt Magazine
