Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'The direct simplicity of this new translation ... uncovers not only the nerve endings of Chekhov's restless malcontents but also their comic absurdities. It is, as he always intended, actually funny ...' --Jack Tinker, Daily Mail

'The play has been flooded with light, like a room with the curtains drawn back' --John Peter, Sunday Times

'Betts has already developed a fine reputation for works such as Muswell Hill or more recently Invincible and the astute social realism of both resonates through this latest commission. He amplifies Chekhov's ubiquitous subtext to further expose the petty cruelties, preoccupations and raging egoism within this landmark ensemble piece while also rendering it surprisingly contemporary... A remarkably accessible translation supported by engaging performances.' --The Stage

Reseña del editor:

'Only love brings happiness into this earth, the poetical love of youth, sweeping away the sorrows of the world.' As guests assemble at a country house for the staging of an avant-garde open air play, artistic temperaments ignite a more entertaining drama behind the scenes, with romantic jealousies, self-doubt and the ruthless pursuit of happiness confusing lives, loves and literature.
