On the 165th anniversary of the birth of the great Russian playwright A. P. Chekhov, Beatrice Rancea brings back to the stage “Wedding”, in a new version, 30 years after her directorial debut with the same play. The previous production received numerous awards, and the appreciation of both audiences and critics, and was taken up by Romanian Television. In this new staging, Beatrice Rancea spectacularly combines situational, character, and linguistic comedy, offering a performance full of rhythm and energy, with live musical moments, a captivating scenic universe, in which humor and melancholy intertwine in a refined dance of emotions. The new production of the Independent Luceafărul Theater not only offers a grand show but also a cast to match: Radu Gheorghe, Monica Dobrișan, Cristi Toma, Vlad Lință, Cristina Constantinescu, Andrei Vasilescu, Mircea Constantinescu, Mihai Baranga, Bogdan Costea, Andra Iulia Stoicescu, Meda Topîrceanu, Mihai Căpățână, Andrei Barbu, Andrei Cojanu, and the special participation of soprano Arlinda Morava.

The performance begins with the classic elements of a wedding – a happy bride, a worried and impatient groom, a pair of concerned parents, and all sorts of colorful guests, each with their own story. However, the drama is just beginning, centering on Dashenka and Epaminond Maximovich Aplombov, the couple whose wedding gradually transforms into a space of conflicts among the other participants in the “happy” event. The bride's parents, Nastasia Timofeevna and Evdokim Zaharovich Jigalov, blame each other in front of their daughter, the greedy groom becomes furious when his financial demands and the in-laws' promises remain unfulfilled, and the bride gives up the happiness of the most beautiful day of her life for the drama of the unloved and abandoned woman. However, everything seems to be forgotten when a much-anticipated yet false general makes an appearance at the wedding.

Thus, “Wedding” after A.P. Chekhov, directed by Beatrice Rancea, with set design by Ioana Colceag, promises the audience a dose of laughter with tears, but also a profound reflection on the world we live in, transforming the performance into one that theater lovers cannot miss.
