Some people find Chekhov a little.. slow. I’m confident the below could turn any Cherry Orchard into a Cheery Orchard.
- · Drink every time someone brings in a samovar.
· Drink if there’s a doctor.
· Drink if there are soldiers.
· Drink if someone drinks (obv).
· Drink every time someone complains about the heat or cold.
· Drink every time someone worries about money.
· Drink every time someone worries about trees.
· Drink if someone kisses someone they shouldn’t.
· Drink every time someone attempts to prophesy the future.
· Drink every time someone complains about unrequited love.
· Drink if someone is frustrated by how uncultured the people around them are.
· Drink every time someone is WASTING THEIR LIFE IN SOME PROVINCIAL BACKWATER.
· Just drink. It’s the only way to dull the pain of awareness of the futility of life, wasted talent, lost opportunities for romance, inability to find motivation and the callousness of people towards the natural world and each other.
