New York City is alive with radical theatrical interpretations of the writings of Anton Chekhov. The nineteenth-century Russian physician, dramatist, and author is venerated in classical theater circles for his revolutionary contributions to theatrical realism in works like Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters, and The Seagull. But this season his work is receiving a dramatic makeover in a coincidental series of adventurous new adaptations by luminaries of New York’s contemporary performance avant-garde.
