Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the perception and representation of Russian theatre in post-WW2 Britain, questioning why Chekhov dominates British views of Russian drama. It delves into the neglect of other Russian playwrights and writers, examining the cultural implications of this singular focus. The author reflects on a review by Susannah Clapp, which raises the idea of a constructed "Russia of the theatrical mind," prompting a deeper analysis of how British theatre engages with Russian works beyond Chekhov.
