Play: How the Two Ivans Quarreled, by Nikolai Gogol
Time: 7:30pm
Location: Arts Complex Theatre | Macon Campus
Description: How The Two Ivans Quarreled—sometimes translated as How The Two Ivans Squabbled—is a short story by the great Ukranian writer Nikolai Gogol. It was published in 1834, the year after Alexander Pushkin’s famous Eugene Onegin, and the two Ivans falling out may be a comic nod towards the novel that ends in a tragic and pointless duel. There’s nothing truly tragic and lots that is arguably pointless in the adaptation for the stage by Dr. Stephen Wisker, Director.
