Summary "Performing Chekhov" is a unique and remarkably comprehensive guide to Chekhov's plays in performance. Drawing on extensive interviews with actors, directors and designers, it offers in-depth case studies of a number of significant and often controversial productions of Chekhov's plays. It focuses on the work of key directors in Russia, America and England and reflects a number of significant and on-going debates, not only about Chekhov's work, but about the very nture of acting and performance.
