Description |
"Sydney Festival welcomes one of Europe's finest acting ensembles, Budapest's Katona József Theatre, in their acclaimed production of Chekhov's early masterpiece. Ivanov is Chekhov's first performed work and tells the tale of a once idealistic landowner who has lost all interest in life. With consummate skill, director Tamás Ascher, one of Europe's most respected interpreters of Chekhov's work, has uprooted the play from its usual setting amongst the fading Russian bourgeoisie, and planted it firmly within Hungary's ascendant peasant classes of the 1960s." |
