chekhov london 2020

The latest play by acclaimed Czech-British playwright Tom Stoppard is set to premiere in the West End next year and is Stoppard's most personal work yet! Chekhov has rarely been celebrated as a humorist and while he subtly mocks the stiff social conventions that have so often been a feature of adaptations, this new raft of productions have showcased a breadth and depth in his writing that has warmed each of the theatres they have appeared in. Her beauty hypnotises both Vanya and the climate-conscious doctor, Astrov.

The play takes place at the rural Russian estate of literary critic, Professor Serebryakov in the 19th century.
The context of 1960s war in Africa was outstandingly realised by designer Katrina Lindsay who created a beautiful and chic villa in woods and reeds that dominated the lengthy Lyttelton Stage. The three plays presented so far this year have changed that, pulling down the wall between setting and meaning that has proved illuminating in terms of textual excavation. That was great Chekhov acting.

Uncle Vanya has achieved this most successfully within its traditionalist approach by drawing out a new humour in Conor McPherson’s translation that humanised the familiar interactions between siblings, family and neighbours and brought the audience more effectively into the story than ever before. It tends to be the one you’ve seen most recently. But for us, reading Chekhov’s often indeterminate, emotionally puzzling stories, the solution is not so simple.

The characters in each of these three plays are trapped – a Chekovian standard – not just physically unable to leave their location due to war, pecuniary distress or as for Irina in The Seagull the failures of a limited ferry service, but also in emotional holding-patterns which the activity of the play temporarily releases before returning them to their original state, often no better and sometimes only a little worse for their temporary engagement with the wider world. Toby Jones is perhaps best known for providing the voice of Dobby The House Elf in the Harry Potter film series (Chamber of Secrets and The Deathly Hallows - Part 1). ( Log Out /  Revising the story, he deleted a line that seemed too definitive: ‘I had gone to settle something, but not a single one of life’s questions can have a special solution; in each separate case you must say and do what you think – that is the solution to all questions.’ Lines like this survived the red pen in other stories he wrote, but they never appear as conclusions.
