YOUNG CHEKHOV National Theatre

Jonathan Kent directs a season of plays by Anton Chekhov. You can see Platanov, Ivanov and The Seagull separately or all three on the same day. I enjoyed them so much when they were at Chichester Festival last year that I am seeing them again.

“In life,” Chekhov said, “everything is mixed up: the profound with the trite, the tragic with the comic.” It is his masterly ability to balance all three at the same time which has made him so popular with the profession and audiences. All the great stage actors have wanted to appear in his plays. Don’t hesitate. Go.
