I went through a period when I was studying Russian language in which I was tired of reading Chekhov. I regard this as a period of temperary madness which I am thankfully past. If asked, I would say that I am an unconditional fan.

One need not be familiar with Chekhov’s work to relish this colleciton of plays staged by the BBC. It really does hold some gems. The most outstanding work on this collection, and it would be worth it if it had this play alone on it, is The Cherry Orchard with Judi Dench. All I can say is WOW! What a expedient cast, this is the ideal version of this, the most Russian of all plays. Anyone who wishes to understand Russian society should first view this play and this version of the play. I am hoping that someday someone might do this play and state it in the “modern Russia.” It would require only a small degree of updating. Rather than think on the ruin of serfdom, one can meditate on the extinguish of the Soviet Union (it amounts to the same thing, really) .
There are other plays in the collection. There is an kindly staging of Three Sisters (Janet Suzman is incredible here), Uncle Vanya and the Seagull. All are very well done. There are few better ways to see all the plays of Chekhov in such an easy and accessable manner. One can only gawk forward to further collections of classic dramatists from the BBC.
I have not had time to go through this entire dwelling, but have watched the included version of Uncle Vanya with Ken Jones as Vanya and a young Anthony Hopkins as the doctor. Jones is one of the best Vanyas I have seen; his histrionics are presented in a sustained crescendo that ends in a status of absolute meltdown. Vanya is a very difficult role since the actor must constantly hurry this wave of emotion without blowing it. Jones is great, so is Anthony Hopkins as Astrov and Jennifer Armitage as Sonja. There seem to be some minor liberties with the text but it all works well.
