Adapting Chekhov
«
"Recommended" --Choice
'Adapting Chekhov is an invaluable addition, not only to the field of Chekhov performance history, but to the growing body of criticism on adaptation. As the first collection to provide detailed analyses of significant international 'mutations' of Chekhov's texts, it can rightly take its place alongside so august a volume as Laurence Senelick's The Chekhov Theatre. Scholars of adaptation will find much to chew on in its theoretically and geographically varied case studies of a century's worth of post-Chekhovian writing and performance.' – James Loehlin, Studies in Theatre and Performance

This book considers the hundred years of re-writes of Anton Chekhov's work, presenting a wide geographical landscape of Chekhovian influences in drama. The volume examines the elusive quality of Chekhov's dramatic universe as an intricate mechanism, an engine in which his enigmatic characters exist as the dramatic and psychological ciphers we have been de-coding for a century, and continue to do so.
