 A Month in the Country
Russian play, A Month in the Country, is charming, and much of this production is fine, but it really should be called "A Month in the Theatre." (I tried to resist, but I just couldn't.) Boyohboyohboy is it slow and static.
Turgenev is usually regarded as a precursor to Chekhov, with the same huge country estates, the elegant and the provincial guests (the requisite doctor, the young innocent, the mismatched lovers, the clumsy landowner, the prim governness) and the same languid walks and talks.
The situation in A Month in the Country is this: the central figure is a pretty, rich, self-absorbed matron (Jessica Hendra) who falls in love with her son's young and robust tutor (Jeffrey Coon) who is loved by a sweet young girl (Jennifer Childs) who is an orphaned ward of the household.

 A Month In The Country
A Month In The Country used to appear on college and university reading lists for survey courses in European literature in general and non-English drama in particular and as supplementary reading in 19th-century European cultural and social history.
The month of the title is the single one that Aleksey (charmingly played by Bhavesh Patel), a gauche, poor young graduate, spends as tutor of the son of a wealthy, cultured family, on their working estate.
We are shown only the last few days of the month, during which Natalya, in erotic distress, destroys her longtime friendship with her cavalier, Michel (Charlie Barron); her affectionate relationship with her young ward, Vera (Lindsey Diederich); and her mother-in-law, Anna (Kelly Morris).

"A Month in the Country" is modeled after Turgenev's own experience, with Michel serving as his alter ego.
