You don’t have to know a thing about famed Russian playwright Anton Chekhov to enjoy this new comedy by William Missouri Downs. The fun begins when two Hollywood screenwriters are hired by Disney to adapt the classic play THE CHERRY ORCHARD into a new movie for Mel Gibson. Looking for inspiration or just an escape from L.A.’s smog, the pair treks to an isolated arts colony just outside Moscow, Idaho.  Little do they know they are about to be thrust squarely into their own hilarious Russian comedy.
