Description
Chekhov's late masterpiece examines human behaviour in all of its beautiful, terrible, laughable contradiction. Following his reimagining of Oresteia (Almeida / West End), Almeida Associate Director Robert Icke directs a new production of Chekhov's greatest play.

(1) keep living.
(2) stop living.
(3) stop someone else living.
(4) nothing.
Even so, what has your life been worth?

It challenges the patriarchal assumptions of the playwright's tragic trilogy. It dispenses with staging conventions. Yet this is not destruction but revelation. You can almost see the dust flying off the old master. No. 1 Play of 2015.

What a piece of theatre this is… Calchas says of the play: ''this has all happened before, and more than once''. But not with this theatrical potency, not in my lifetime, I don't think.' No. 1 Play of 2015.
