From Russia, with love
China DailyA scene from the Chinese play, Love, Chekhov, which is based on three of the Russian writer's comedies — The Bear, The Proposal and The Wedding. Since Zha was a student at the Central Academy of Drama, the actor-turned-director has enjoyed reading Chekhov's works, from his full-length plays, such as The Seagull and The Cherry Orchard, to his short, one-act comedies, like The Proposal. Now, as a director with the National Theatre of China, Zha is busy restaging a Chinese play, titled Love, Chekhov, which is based on three of the writer's comedies — The Bear, The Proposal and The Wedding — and will be staged at the company's theater from Wednesday to Sunday. "When I read the romantic stories told in Chekhov's works, I couldn't help wondering what Chekhov's attitude toward love and marriage was and how he dealt with romantic relationships," says Zha.
