Chekhov in Yalta by John Driver and Jeffrey Haddow

Winner! Los Angeles Drama Critics Award for Distinguished Playwrighting 
Winner! American Theatre Critics Citation

Confined in his villa at Yalta by illness in April of 1900, Chekhov receives a delightful visit by the Moscow Art Theatre. They have embarked on a provincial tour with the express purpose of persuading Chekhov to give them his latest play. Noteworthy characters include Stanislavski, Valdmir Nemirovich Danchenko, Gorky, Ivan Bunin and actress Olga Knipper who Chekhov, a confirmed bachelor, contemplates marrying even as he acknowledges his advancing consumption. The play is criss crossed with amorous triangles, battles of ego, high spirits and melancholic languor reminiscent of Chekhov's work.

"A truly Chekhovian comedy filled with wit, style, and passion." - Los Angeles Star News
