Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: The first half of "Funny Chekhov" is a lot of laughs, which you don't hear much regarding the writer of works such as "Three Sisters," "The Seagull" and "The Cherry Orchard." The final program of Pittsburgh Irish & Classical Theatre's monthlong celebration lives up to its name a good deal of the time, with a nod to accessible translations, innovative direction and the commitment of a talented company.

I saw posters for these shows as soon as I arrived in Pittsburgh, and I really wanted to go see this. Sadly, it was orientation week, and I didn't know the bus system very well, nor did I have time to get away from seemingly mandatory summer camp activities. I love late 19th century plays and playwrights, and I seriously regret not running away from one of the orientation dinners to go see this collection of one act shows. Hopefully the PICT theatre will put on similar shows in the future and knowing the bus system a little better, I'll definitely be attending.
