Description
Nothing's new
Everything's old.
I'm exactly the same as ever
Only more lazy
More aimless
More curmudgeonly...'
One of the high points of world drama, Chekhov's bittersweet tale of frustrated lives and unrequited loves - by turns witty, playful, nostalgic and tragic - is captured in all its complexity by Bryony Lavery's spirited, sharply-written adaptation, first produced at Birmingham Rep in 2007.
