Press Reviews

"What a charming play.... The workmanship is carefully wrought. The lines of characterization are fine.... It seems like a breath of fresh air."

— The New York Times

"This masterful translation captures all the subtle humor and bittersweet poignance of Turgenev's classic play. “…his lines have the rueful wit of a man who has seen much of the world and who shakes his head compassionately over how rarely any of its inhabitants achieve a finish worthy of their beginnings.” —The New Yorker. ”What a remarkable play!…It has all the freshness, that thrust of a new century's thought, which we associate with Chekhov or Gorky.“ —New York Post. ”A MONTH IN THE COUNTRY is a jewel of a play…"
