"I take your hand in mine" Suggested by the Letters of Anton Chekhov and Olga Knipper

by Carol Rocamora

A new play based on the love letters between Anton Chekhov and Olga Knipper. They knew each other only six years; they were married for three of them until his death in July, 1904. During those six years his health and her work kept them apart most of the time. Their love story is told through the roughly 400 letters written by each of them.

[Caterina Brusca · Rating 4 out of 5]

Il fitto scambio epistolare tra Anton Čechov e Ol'ga Knipper trasformato in un intenso dialogo vibrante, incalzante, passionale, poetico, in cui si alternano attimi di grande euforia a momenti di profondo sconforto e frustrazione.
Dopo averlo letto, è impossibile non desiderare di saperne di più su questa breve ma intensa storia d'amore!
