Cate Blanchett's Bwy Debut "The Present" Wanted a Refund - Ran Out at Intermission

I purchased tickets to the Broadway show "The Present," an adaptation of Chekhov's untitled 1st play was to see Cate Blanchett in person.  (I even paid full price damn it!)  Blanchett couldn't breath life into Chekhov's early work that should have been tossed or lost. (All the actors would have failed a breath analyzer.)  My loss at quite an exorbitant cost and 2 hours totally wasted.  I'd like a full refund and my time back {not gonna happen.}  But, let me spare you the "mentally induced coma" wrought by this inebriated Chekhov castoff that is a charlatan of great, classical theater.  The 1st scene in Act was so mind numbing & 2 hours long.  The clarification of all the characters was tedious.  Anna (Cate Blanchett) is the matriach of a family of 3 stepsons having married their father; a much older man, the general, as a young bride.  (The sons & their friends were near in age to Anna and lusted after her.)  It  seems the matriach may have abetted her young admirers. The play is set 20 years from when Ana was first a blushing bride on the eve of her 40th birthday at the country estate where the extended family & friends have convened to fete the occasion.  A typical garrulous, drunken Russian family drama only atypically without any merit.  The play opines the endless possibilities of young love.  "One must obey the secret workings of the heart." And offers imbecilic philosophy, "All life's experiences can only be felt through our 5 senses."  The play makes no sense.  It was painfully unimaginative watching everyone spin into a drunken stupor.   Then, it became appalling watching the party degenerate into a tasteless, sexual brawl complete with blaring ammo & detonators.  Blanchett's role was so absurdist that any semblence of nuanced & poignant performance was drowned in vodka.  I felt taken by Blanchett's celebrity draw and was robbed of $ and precious time.  Perhaps, I can save you from the same foolish fate before it's too late.
