Synopsis: based on the letters of Anton Chekov and the actress Olga Knipper, for whom he wrote some of his most resonant roles. Spread over five short years from 1899 to 1904, the letters trace the friendship, love and eventual marriage of the celebrated dramatist and actress. But what makes the letters so poignant - and necessary - is that Chekhov was forced to winter in Yalta for his health while Olga practised her craft in Moscow. Separation lends the correspondence its emotional ache, affection and occasional asperity | ||||
