Press Reviews
"The triumph of Frayn's translation/adaptation is to have taken the bones of this immature work and molded it to offer us a tantalizing glimpse of the genius to come."
— London City Limits
"The world can rejoice in an "new' play by Chekhov...a sprawling study of a provincial Don Juan whose indiscriminate love of women leads not only to their downfall but to his own."
— Sunday Express, London
"Brilliant."
— London Guardian
"One of the best evenings in the theater that Broadway has given us over the past few years."
— New York Post
