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.

Things your life could be:
(1) a farce.
(2) a tragedy.
(3) pointless.
(4) all of the above.

Things you could do about it:
(1) keep living.
(2) stop living.
(3) stop someone else living.
(4) nothing.

Even so, what has your life been worth?

Industry Reviews

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.
