Dama With a Lapdog

KPGT

DAMA WITH A LAPDOG A.P. Chekhov 80s Is free love possible?...That Anton Pavlovich is one of the greatest playwrights the world theater has is no novelty. That he was contemporary with Alexandra Mikhailovna - better known as Madame Kolontay - the pioneer of the great and radical feminist movement in the early 20th century - this is a very exciting 'news'. Is Anna Sergeyevna a frustrated provincial woman desiring to escape from a dusty marriage into a summer adventure on the promenade in Yalta, or a distant cousin of the Red Stockings and Bitches from feminist New York of the wild sixties, or a heroine of the revolution from the torpedo-boat Spartacus in the Kronstadt harbor that Kis calls Minaida Maisner - or all three together and in all times. Whoever is surprised by this must read his genius LADY WITH A LAPDOG again or, even better, watch the play at KPGT based on Chekhov's best story...
