So much for that quiet holiday weekend so longed for by these two newlyweds! It's FAMILY TIME!!!! Anton Chekhov's "A Country Cottage" centers on two young newlyweds, Sasha and Varya, who are enjoying profound, almost dream-like happiness while strolling on the platform of a little country station under the moonlight. The air is still and heavy with the fragrance of lilac and wild cherry, and they look forward to a perfect, quiet supper of chicken "just big enough for two," along with salmon and sardines. Sasha remarks that their "splendid time" seems almost unbelievable. However, their tranquility is instantly shattered when the train, described as a "dark monster," pulls up to destroy their little oasis of peace. For the Credits:
