Description | This is one of the most heartfelt love stories in the history of theatre between two renowned personalities - writer Anton Chekov and his actress wife, Olga Knipper. Set apart by his illness binding him in Yalta and her careeer at the Moscow Art Theatre, their relationship was sustained only through a constant stream of letters during the 6 years of their involvement. The play traces their improbable love which survived challenges of time often reflected by the relationships created in Chekov's plays. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
