This
is an essentially light-hearted play, but it does make interesting points about
families deciding what’s best for Mother “who is not getting any younger”– and
offloading their own responsibilities, not realising that Mother has her own
plans – and is well on the way to putting them into effect.
The Bear by Anton Chekhov
The comedy in ‘The Bear’ derives from
the characters' lack of self-knowledge. At the start the widow Popova fancies
herself inconsolably bereaved, while Smirnov (the Bear himself, ‘teddy’ rather
than ‘grizzly’) considers himself a woman-hater. The comic development of the courtship is not
subtle, and the play sweeps us along at a farcical cracking pace, ending with
an unexpected surrender.
