Confined in his villa at Yalta by illness in April of 1900, Chekov receives a delightful visit by the Moscow Art Theatre. They have embarked on a provincial tour with the express purpose of persuading Chekov to give them his latest play. Noteworthy characters include Konstantin Stanislavski (1863 – 1938), founder member of the Moscow Art Theatre in 1898; Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko (1858 – 1943), founder member of the Moscow Art Theatre in 1898; Olga Knipper (1868 – 1959), an actress, part of John Driver en Jeffrey Haddow the company of the Moscow Art Theatre and who married Anton Chekov at the end of his life; Maxim Gorki (1868 – 1936), die well known revolutionary Russian dramatist (The Lower Depths, 1902); and Ivan Bunin (1870 – 1953), the first Russian recipient of the Nobel Prize for literature in 1933.

The play is criss crossed with amorous triangles, battles of ego, high spirits and melancholic languor reminiscent of Chekov’s work. This fictional comedy by John Driver and Jeffrey Haddow, was the winner of several prestigious awards including a Los Angeles Drama Critics Award for Distinguished Playwriting and a American Theatre Critics Citation.
