Reading with Wolfram Koch
Chekhov’s early tales reveal a genius in the making: they are filled to the brim with the precise observations, wry humour, eccentric characters and witty dialogue of his later plays. These youthful sketches show a carefree and playful side of the playwright who is celebrated for plays such as The Cherry Orchard and Three Sisters.
