He wants to get married; and he doesn't want to get married - he doesn't know what to do. But he has a friend who knows what's best for everyone. Marriage is Gogol's farce about desire, matchmakers, Imperial Russian speed dating and much else besides. "Howard Colyer's adaptation of Gogol's intriguing, funny and slightly unsettling play brings out the piece's absurdities. It's an entertaining version, with satisfyingly pared-down and peppy dialogue." Time Out.
