Items related to Platonov
In 1997, David Hare adapted the little-known play, Ivanov, and revealed the young Anton Chekhov as a markedly different writer from the one English-speaking audiences recognize from the more familiar plays.
Now Hare has turned his attention to another, equally surprising key work of Chekhov's youth - an abandoned seven-hour teenage manuscript in which a Russian schoolmaster faces up to the implications of being irresistibly attractive to four different women. Once again, we are introduced to a great Russian playwright who is funnier, more exuberant and more wildly romantic than anyone expects.
Platonov, in this adaptation, was premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London, in September 2001.

"Once again, we are shown a great writer who is funnier, more exuberant, and more wildly romantic than anyone expects as "Hare . . . demonstrates why Chekhov is one of theatre's great dramatists"--Michael Billington, "The Guardian"
Book Description:
Anton Chekhov's Platonov is here brilliantly adapted by David Hare - to reveal a Chekhov funnier, more exuberant, and more wildly romantic than we've seen him before.
