Inspired by the lesser-known works of Anton Chekhov, On The Dotted Line is the sharp-witted new comedy from Iñigo Galiano. The electrifying Playing for a strictly limited 6 performances at the Arcola Theatre, book your official tickets now!
Blending farce, satire, and moments of emotional depth, On The Dotted Line reimagines Chekhov for the contemporary financial sector. The play centres around a brewing scandal in a bank on the verge of collapse, as those in power wrestle to maintain dominance, reputation and relevance – all as secrets unravel, facades slip, and absurdities grow.
Paying homage to Chekhov’s wit through a piercingly modern lens, the play asks: in a society built on performance, who’s really watching—and who’s pulling the strings?
