Theatre at UBC presents Wild Honey tonight, a mix of comedy and melodrama about a young man “cursed” with being too attractive to women.

The play is a 1984 adaptation by British playwright Michael Frayn from a seven-hour manuscript originally written by Anton Chekhov.

It debuted that same year in London’s West End starring Sir Ian McKellan as Michael Platanov, a man who can make women fall for everything he says.

Directed by Brian Cochrane, Wild Honey runs until Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Frederic Wood Theatre, 6354 Crescent Rd., University of B.C.

For tickets, call the box office at 604-822-2678 or go to theatre.ubc.ca.
