| Description |
Anton Chekhov's first play was a sprawling, unstructured epic but it marked out the style and themes he would return to in his later masterworks from The Seagull to The Cherry Orchard. It remains a mysterious, unpolished gem.
The manuscript, left unpublished until almost two decades after Chekhov's death, lacked a title. Over the years it has inspired various adaptations Wild Honey, Fatherlessness, The Disinherited but it is most commonly referred to as Platonov, the name of the man at its centre. And yet, the play has always contained another extraordinarily rich and complex character. |
