MALACCA: The 1985-established Malacca Theatre Group (MTG) faithfully advocating to keep English-language theatre and stage productions alive added a “novel twist” in its efforts with the staging of a “Russian Evening” comprising three short plays in English by Pavlovich Anton Chekhov (1860-1904), one of the greatest short story writers of the former Soviet Union.
Held at the Hang Kasturi Auditorium of Yayasan Melaka in Air Keroh, the one-night affair was graced by The Russian Federation ambassador to Malaysia Lyudmila Vorobyeva. The MTG event was preceded by a 20-minute Russian cultural slide show presentation handled by the embassy staff.
