[edit] PLATONOV

David Hare turns his attention to a key work of Chekov's youth - an abandoned seven-hour teenage manuscript in which a Russian schoolmaster faces up to the implications of being irresistably attractive to four different women.

An original six-hour work by Chekhov, brilliantly distilled into a three-hour play by David Hare. 'What Platonov does have, in its very wildness, is a sort of feverish ambition, a desire, almost, to put the whole of Russia on the stage, while at the same time focussing comically on one of its most sophisticated victims.' Platonov, in David Hare's translation, will premiere at the Almeida Theatre in 2001.
