Details

This book tackles questions about the reception and production of translated and untranslated Russian theatre in post-WW2 Britain: why in British minds is Russia viewed almost as a run-of-the-mill production of a Chekhov play. Is it because Chekhov is so dominant in British theatre culture? What about all those other Russian writers? Many of them are very different from Chekhov. A key question was formulated, thanks to a review by Susannah Clapp of Turgenev's A Month in the Country: have the British staged a 'Russia of the theatrical mind'?


Charts British responses to Russian theatre from 19452015 Analyses over 800 productions and reviews Of appeal to students, practitioners, teachers, and researchers
