Excerpt from The Moscow Art Theatre Series of Russian Plays, Vol. 5: Direction of Morris Gest An Enemy of the People and Gorky's The Lower Depths. Like cherished favor ites in the Art Theatre ncle Vanya won its way slowly and unobtrusively but surely to the hearts of the theatre's patrons, and today, over two decades later, it still holds an enviable position. It was Uncle Vanya, too, which shares honors with The Sea Gull and with Hauptmann's Lonely Lives and Ibsen's Hedda Gabler in the story of the persuasion of Tchekhofi to pursue further the craft of playwright. In the spring of 1900, the Art Theatre was writing to him for another manuscript. He te fused, urged to that conclusion by lack of confidence in his powers. Thinking that perhaps this self depreciation was due to the fact that he had never seen either The Sea Gull or Uncle Vanya on the stage, the entire Art Theatre company set out for the Crimea at the close of the spring season in Moscow, travelled south, met Tchekhofi at the dock at Sebastopol, gave eight performances there, proceeded to Yalta, where the playwright had built his own house with his own hands and had laid out his garden with the same per sonal care, and gave four more performances there.
