Platonov
by Anton Chekhov, John Christopher Jones
Synopsis
THE STORY: PLATONOV is Chekhov’s first play, and it went unproduced during his lifetime.
Finding himself on a downward spiral fueled by lust and alcohol, Platonov proudly adopts as his motto “speak ill of everything.”
A shining example of the chaos that reigned in his era, Platonov is a Hamlet whose father was never murdered, a Don Juan who cheats on his wife and his mistress, and the hero of the as-yet unwritten great Russian novel of his day.
