Details

In 1898 Anton Chekhov and Olga Knipper meet and fall in love. But for most of their relationship they remain separate. Chekhov travelled south for health reasons whilst Olga performed in his premieres at the Moscow Arts Theatre under the direction of Stanislavsky. Their love is conducted through letters, which they send to one another until the playwright's death. Your Hand in Mine is a theatrical adaptation of their correspondence. The 412 letters are filled with humour, longing and sadness and are a fascinating insight into Chekhov's first productions. French language production
