An HD broadcast of a National Theatre performance with Zoe Wannamaker, this production of Chekhov's tragic drama of pre-revolution Russian landowners, this production used an edgy translation and worked to throw individual and family dilemmas into the framework of social unrest to which the principals remain oblivious.
I liked it very much because the innovations threw into highlight a state of denial with which I'm very familiar.
So despite the liberties--or perhaps because of--I recommend this production.
