Blood Bear

Waitingroom Project

Horror Comedy Based on the Works of A. P. Chekhov

September 2025. The Váróterem Project company, led by director Levente Imecs-Magdó, is preparing for the premiere of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov’s The Bear. Levente knows that if the production is not successful, his directing career is over. He is terrified of the premiere—but not terrified enough…

Little does he know that darker dangers than failure are lurking in wait for the company, and that not everyone will survive the production.
