Summary
The Coarse Acting Show 2 contains further plays for Coarse Actors. Like the plays in the previous volume, Four Plays for Coarse Actors, these four plays show different aspects of Coarse Theatre. The Cherry Sisters, a hitherto undiscovered fragment of Chekhov, is a desperately sincere piece, with a real tear-jerker of an ending, spoiled only by the fact that someone has to die standing up in order to cope with a faulty prop. Everything which can conceivably go wrong does so: sets collapse, actors fail to appear on stage, props fall to pieces - but the Coarse cast carry on, firmly believing that the audience won't notice a thing. Contained in the volume The Coarse Acting Show 2 (Further Plays for Coarse Actors).
