Vanya on 42nd Street

IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: No
Watched With: Myself

I'm really not that familiar with Chekhov, never seemed like my kinda thing, but this is certainly an interesting way to do it. Literally just watching actors rehearse the play.

And they give great performances too. Without the artifice of costumes or many props or sets it really becomes just about the performance. And surprisingly those extras are never missed. Everything comes across perfectly naturally.

The actual story I found slow and not that interesting but I like the way it was done.
