The Chekhov Collective presents The Princess, a short story by Anton Chekhov, as part of their Page to Stage Theatrical Readings of Literary Works.
The Princess tells the story of Vera Gavrilovna, a wealthy noblewoman and a tireless admirer of her own virtue, who retreats to a monastery in search of spiritual renewal. Surrounded by polite silence, she takes this as devotion—until a chance meeting with a former employee from her estate threatens to shatter her delusion.
