The Proposal, by Anton Chekhov, is a small masterpiece of character and situational humour, which displays all of Chekhov’s sensitive and acute understanding of human foibles.

Ivan Vasilyevich Lomov (Danny Masewicz), a hypochondrial landowner, comes to ask his neighbour Stepan Stepanovich (Brian Darnley) for the hand of his daughter Natalya Stepanovna (Lynn Taylor). However, their tempestuous and quarrelsome characters keep getting the better of them, putting their chance of happiness in peril.  

This wonderfully funny and fast moving play is adapted for audio, produced and directed by Nick Le Mesurier, with sound engineering by Nick Le Mesurier and Ian Taylor.
