Abstract

This article discusses plays and other works by Chekhov as performed in translation in contemporary theatres in Madrid presenting, in the main, my findings from the interviews I had with three theatre directors dedicated to bringing a more authentic vision of Chekhov to the Madrid stage. Juan Pastor, Ángel Gutiérrez and Irinia Kouberskaya have accomplished much with their theatre groups and theatres in Madrid with regard to the promotion of Chekhov's theatre on the Spanish stage. Two of these theatre directors, Gutiérrez and Kouberskaya, have wide experience of Russia and of Russian theatre traditions. Innovative aspects of certain of the Chekhov productions of these three directors, which include The Three Sistsers/Las tres hermanas and The Seagull/La gaviota, are commented upon and their roles as popularizers of Chekhov's drama are considered.
