Inspired by Anton Chekhov’s novels.
The strange animal – the human being – (first of all maybe the man and then his relationship with the equally strange animal, the woman) never stops fascinating Chekhov, who has given us wonderful dramas and also a series of novels concerning the same subject. The talented French writer has collected material from all the novels and created a drama of imposing beauty, where the humour of Chekhov takes the sting out of his melancholy and pessimistic philosophy of life. Fantastic roles for an experienced comedy couple.
