The following excerpt was take from a blog called “StarStruk by Life”.

“Sunday afternoon’s session began with an adaptation of The Bear (by Anton Chekhov), performed IN RUSSIAN, Roman Fever (by Hugh Leonard) and Doubt: A Parable (by John Patrick Shanley). Doubt was polished and sure, but the play itself doesn’t thrill me. Roman Fever featured amazing costumes and hats. BUT, the surprise of the afternoon and the Festival as a whole was The Bear. We were prepared to be bored; instead, we were amazed and inspired. Igor Golyak played Chekhov writing The Bear, throwing in the occasional English phrase which helped guide us along the plot trail… and it helped to have read the synopsis. But the overwhelming wonderfulness of this production was the actors’ bodies…they way they moved, the way they looked at each other… their bodies (from tip of the toe to top of the head) were expressive and emotive and balletic and theatrical… universal understanding. They won just about everything, including Best Production. For all my friends in New Hampshire, you need to go to the Regionals in Concord, NH in March 2011… mark your calendars!”
