description: In 1997, David Hare adapted the little-known play, Ivanov , and revealed the young Anton Chekhov as a markedly different writer from the one English-speaking audiences were familiar with. Now he has produced a streamlined new version of Chekhov's freshman drama Platonov --an abandoned seven-hour manuscript in which Chekhov recasts Don Juan as a Russian schoolmaster.
