A very funny adaptation of one of the theatre's minor classics...  Anton Chekov's short comic play, A MARRIAGE PROPOSAL.  Lem, an excitable young rancher, riddled with imaginary ailments, decides it's time to marry and journeys to the next spread to propose to the spirited and stubborn Natalie.  The mother, a widow lady, is delighted.  But she neglects to tell her daughter the reason for their neighbor's visit.  Lem and his intended get into a furious (and uproarious) argument over who owns a small meadow.  Lem is booted out.  When Natalie discovers he wanted to marry her, she sends her mother to fetch him back.
