Oh Cherry Orchard... Yellow ball in the side pocket... I love the other Chekhov... Now, where were we? Right, pre-show rituals. I work in the theatre, and I used to live in Russia, so I feel where you're coming from. Russians definitely take their toasts seriously. In fact, I was worried that (h-less) Chekov's toasts weren't long enough here. They usually go on for a loooooong time. To toasts! *raises a glass*
