"Set in Moscow in 1914-- ten years after Chekhov's death, long enough to provide some perspective on his greatness, close enough for memories to have remained fresh-- the program gives us Chekhov through the eyes of those who worked with him and loved him, using superb Russian documentary footage to make both the playwright and his time come to vivid life."
