ICS Theatre is back with its 10th production, Chekhov Express, a theatrical masterpiece by renowned playwright and director, Sahitya Akademi Award recipient, Mahesh Dattani.

Based on short stories written by the great Russian author, Anton Chekhov, this English/Hindi adaptation by Mahesh Dattani & Aditya Datey, transposes beautifully to an Indian railscape and will help you relive the magic of Indian railway stations and train journeys!. In 2017, with its production Chak De Chekhov!, ICS Theatre found that audiences had a deep thirst for these short stories that transcend the barrier of time and place. Stories that transport you to modern day India, in a voice that’s fresh, unique and resonant with Chekhov’s delicate humor.

Staged as envisioned by maestro Mahesh Dattani, Chekhov Express is sure to be an immersive experience lush with music, movement, and some fantastic storytelling!
