The Two Volodyas & Romance with a Double Bass

In The Two Volodyas our familiar Chekhovian heroine, Sofya, finds herself at a crossroads; married to her wealthy husband Volodya yet still in love with her childhood sweetheart; a younger more attractive Volodya. Whilst drinking more than perhaps a lady should, Sofya longs for an alternative to her two Volodyas. In Romance with a Double Bass, Pitsikatov is a young musician on his way to a Royal engagement. However, his journey soon takes a farcical turn, when he falls in love, loses his double bass and finds he only has a top hat to preserve his modesty.
