My notes
In the world classics such as Uncle Vanya and The Cherry Orchard I suppose we can
all say "I feel like a character in a play by Chekov." The brief summary doesn't
give the full flavor of the variety of character types in it. But they are all familiar. These more quiet plays seem to suit the times.
This is another recode with the interval break added from a large file share
of Proshot plays. More on that list and my content in the NFO in this folder.
The Cherry Orchard was recently done by The Irish company for broadcast to theatres again in 2020.
