Here we could peer carefully into Chekhov's women characters, for whom, by the way, he did not feel romantic piety, and wrote about them without hypocrisy.
The idea of a triptych is how to assemble completely different female images, characters, destinies in a mosaic, which are united by only one thing - the search, understanding and awareness of love.
In common Chekhov’s stories are perceived as funny, but here we seek and discover other sides of heroes - power, will and humanity.
Chorus Girl ends the triptych of love triangles based on A.P. Chekhov’s stories.
This is a story told by the old, abandoned Chorus bar, in which the young singer Pasha once sang, and got into such life circumstances that was like a bird in a cage.
Her admirer Kolpakov, a weak person, a gambler, got stuck in an affair with Pasha and spent a large amount of other people’s money, exposing himself and his family to downfall.
His wife, a sophisticated and educated woman, comes to Pasha to save her family from poverty and once more scandalous shame.
Her aim is to take off an antique brooch that she had noticed Pasha wearing when she accidentally saw Pasha on the pier with her husband.
