Sommario/riassunto |
|
First performed at the Moscow Art Theatre in 1904, directed by Konstantin Stanislavski, <i>The Cherry Orchard</i> remains a classic of the theatre. Completed less than a year before his death at the age of forty-four, Chekhov's last 'comedy' still ranks supreme as a human tragedy of dispossession with audiences and actors alike. Peter Gill's luminous version brings the psychological realism of Chekhov's characters into sharp focus; fragile souls poised on the brink of happiness which never comes, or trapped in a void between the old world and the new. |
