This production is intense and perfectly played from all the actors with an astonishing script and scenery, full of details in everywhere.

A rollercoaster of emotions -from laughter to tears. Utterly perfect. Totally deserved the standing ovation at curtain call.

Uncle Vanya comes to the Harold Pinter Theatre from 14 January.

Toby Jones and Richard Armitage star in Conor McPherson’s new take on the Chekhov classic

Hot on the heels of the return of his Bob Dyan musical ‘Girl from the North Country’, the great Irish playwright Conor McPherson returns with a new stage adaptation of Chekhov’s classic. Whether McPherson applies his full magical realist personality to ‘Uncle Vanya’ or maintains a light touch, this production is a fairly mouthwatering prospect, with Ian Rickson directing Toby Jones as the eponymous loveable sadsack and Richard Armitage as his friend, local doctor Astrov. The tone of the play tends to vary immensely from production to production – but we’re guessing from the blub here that this is going to be a pretty dark take. Rae Smith designs.

«..when one has no real life, one lives by mirages. It’s still better than nothing.»

Anton Chekhov, Uncle Vanya

«La sala número 6» – Anton Chèjov

«La sala número 6» – Anton Chèjov

“Puede usted estar seguro de que llegarán tiempos mejores. Tal vez hallará usted ridículas mis palabras, pero oiga usted lo que le digo: la aurora de un día mejor alumbrará la tierra, la verdad triunfará, y los humildes y los perseguidos disfrutarán de la felicidad que merecen. Tal vez para entonces yo no existiré, pero ¡qué más da! Me regocijo pensando en la felicidad de las generaciones futuras, las saludo con todo mi corazón.(…)”

La sala número 6 es una extraordinaria novela escrita por Anton Chèjov (1860-1904) en 1892. Este médico, dramaturgo y escritor ruso fue maestro del relato corto, aclamados por escritores y crítica. Se le consideró uno de los más importantes escritores de cuentos de la historia de la literatura. Chéjov compaginó su carrera literaria con la medicina; en una de sus cartas []escribió al respecto:

“La medicina es mi esposa legar; la literatura, sólo mi amante.Cuando me aburro de una, paso la noche con la otra. Puede parecer escandaloso, pero no es monótono y, además, ninguna sufre por mi infidelidad.”

23791

La sala número 6, es una obra que nos adentra en la monótona y gris existencia del doctor Andrei Efímich Raguin, y en su relación con Gromov, uno de los pacientes psiquiátricos de su hospital situado en una pequeña aldea rusa. Entre sus muros se desarrolla una sencilla pero auténtica amistad entre dos seres humanos.

El desenlace del relato, desconcertante pero ineludible, aparece preludiado por una descarnada frase del médico protagonista:

“Mi enfermedad consiste únicamente en que en 20 años no he encontrado más que a una persona inteligente en todo el pueblo, y ése es un verdadero lunático.”

Anton Chéjov murió prematuramente, a la edad de 44 años, en Badenweiler, Alemania, el 15 de julio de 1904, víctima de la tuberculosis que había contraído a la edad de 20 años. Se cuenta que cuando el doctor que le atendía quiso poner una bolsa de hielo sobre el pecho, exclamó: No se pone hielo sobre un corazón vacío.

Sus últimas palabras fueron Ich sterbe (Me muero). Las pronunció en alemán, idioma que no hablaba. Pidió una copa de champaña, la bebió y expiró.

 Chejov

         El arte de escribir consiste en decir mucho con pocas palabras. Anton Chéjov
