Ivanov [A]

I really like this one. Most view this as one of Chekhov's lesser plays, but it works for me. I particularly like the cast/direction of this version, done by the National Asian American Theatre Company. It's light and humorous - it avoids the ponderous feel that Chekhov plays often have.

Sadly, I don't remember much about the Lincoln Center, Kevin Kline production from 1997, but I certainly don't think it moved me as much as this one.
