Chekhov & Maria

Set in Yalta in the early 1900s, Jovanka Bach’s Chekhov & Maria is a bittersweet portrait of the famed Russian playwright. With his health rapidly deteriorating, Anton struggles to complete his masterwork The Cherry Orchard. At his side is his possessive sister Maria, prodding him to write while strictly maintaining her brother’s affairs and keeping him away from his new wife Olga. John Stark directs.
