The Anton Chekhov Book Club Reviews
Chicago Reader- Somewhat Recommended
"...Director Dawn Arnold's reverence and affinity for the source material is clear, but the format-sort of a performance, sort of a staged reading-robs viewers of the stories' intimacy without doing much to heighten their power."
Windy City Times- Highly Recommended
"...Devotees of such elitist fantasies as Downton Abbey are free to cozy down for the 80-minute duration of Chekhov's tour, its nostalgic milieu enhanced by Weston Williams' delightful score of familiar pre-revolution classics, but the thematic link to the disparate segments-as the Book Club members remind us repeatedly-is the readiness with which these eccentric personalities can be seen in our own society today. Look around after you leave the theater and see for yourself."
