A NIGHT IN THE UKRAINE, a Marx Brothers movie the brothers never made, is set in the stately mansion of Mrs Pavlenko, a wealthy Ukrainian widow and introduces us to character types as featured in the Marx Brothers' films.
The mini-musical A NIGHT IN THE UKRAINE is based on Chekov's one-act play The Bear.
