Although a well-known womaniser, three women played a major part in Chekhov’s life. His life-long admirer, who was the model for Nina in The Seagull; the leading actress of the Moscow Art Theatre, who became his wife; and his sister. Their relationships were often tempestuous. The quality of this beautifully crafted production ... deserves the highest praise (Stratford Standard). An accomplished piece of work - dialogue is especially strong and the play is intelligently & sensitively written to a high standard. 'Best Plays 2000' reader review. An interesting story, very well told - a very impressive achievement. 'Stagecoach!' review.
