"Calamity West is one of the best playwrights in Chicago. Or maybe the country. Or the universe." - Chicago Reader

GREETINGS FROM MOSCOW!
A LOVE STORY

Chronicling the brief courtship and marriage of actor Olga Knipper and playwright Anton Chekhov, GREETINGS FROM MOSCOW is a love story for the ages. A fantasy set in the backdrop of a rising Moscow Art scene in the 20th century and the sprawling vacuum of rural Russia, this play is a love letter to the dreamers, the lovers, and the magic of life and death.
