Daniel Irizarry has a proposal. Anton Chekhov, deceased, cannot refuse. Daniel is down on one knee anyway, and Anton, giggling like a schoolgirl, puts another flower in his hair. A mangy dog puts his head in your lap, and, for some reason, you’re looking at the stage. Shadowy pirouettes sputter into quiet sobs. Irizarry collapses, drunk, and theatregoers take their seats. This is not to be missed. In a moment, he will crackle like a roman candle, spreading desire like butter, mouthing the hopes and dreams of old Russia, and acting like a jerk.
