Theatre en Bloc

<H2>In this time of social and political unrest, what is the point of theatre? Art? Talk of love? </H2>
Theatre en Bloc is proud to present NEVA by Guillermo Calderón,  a politically charged, haunting and humorous play about the state of American politics, love and how many ways we use theatre. 
NEVA tells the story of three actors, including Anton Chekhov's widow, who gather to rehearse scenes from The Cherry Orchard as Russia faces an impending revolution. A savage examination of the relationship between theatre and historical context that asks: 'Why go see art when there are atrocities in the streets?'.
<H3 CLASS="text-align-center">The actors simmer with anticipation as they stand on the precipice of revolution!</H3>
