Chekhov in Siberia

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Devised and performed by Michael Pennington
Chekhov regarded literature as his mistress and medicine as his legal wife, and in 1889 he decided to be faithful to his wife and to set off on a journey across
Siberia to the penal colony of Sakhalin, so that he could observe the conditions there. The story is told in Chekhov's own words, taken from conversations, letters and articles.
