Watford House and gardens—study 2014, public performance 2015
 

Durational performance over 24 hours with scenes set throughout the house and garden. This play by Chekov has been referred to as the first environmental work for the theatre.

​

Developed and directed by Bagryana Popov with Watford House, it was shown first as a study then as a performance as part of the Castlemaine Festival. It has since been transferred to homesteads in Steiglitz and Eganstown in Victoria and at Bundanon NSW.
