The Sneeze comprises four short stories and four short plays by Anton Chekhov, translated and adapted for the stage by Michael Frayn. While Chekhov dismissively sub-titled many of his comic shorts as little more than “a joke in one act,” Frayn’s artful selection distills the brilliant oddity and depth of Chekhov’s comedy.
