Is it because Chekhov is so dominant in British theatre culture’ What about all those other Russian writers’ Many of them are very different from Chekhov. A key question was formulated, thanks to a review by Susannah Clapp of Turgenev’s A Month in the Country: have the British staged a ‘Russia of the theatrical mind” ISBN: 9783030443320, 3030443329
