T2001385084Stuck in a thankless job in a small town, Dr Ragin finds himself in the company of a young inmate in the asylum known as Ward No.6. Their conversations lead him to reject the definitions of madness and sanity he has taken for granted, and to question his role in keeping the patients locked up. Betrayed by his friend, he ends up imprisoned himself - trapped in an ‘enchanted circle’ formed by his formerpatients’ rituals and superstitions.Adapted by Matthew Parker (from the short story by Anton Chekhov).

T1607957405Writing short stories has how [Chekhov] earned a living. He was prolific, writing over 400 short stories, and inspiring countless writers from Flannery O'Connor to Raymond Carver. Written with all the wit, humanity and insight of his theatre work, these short stories illuminate and add to our understanding of his plays. Created for The Studio space using actors from The Seagull and Cold Meat Party ensemble, Ward 6 will conjure up some of the voices, atmospheres and lives from these stories.Author Greg Hersov.
