Nothing's new<br>Everything's old.<br>I'm exactly the same as ever<br>Only more lazy<br>More aimless<br>More curmudgeonly...'<br>One of the high points of world drama, Chekhov's bittersweet tale of frustrated lives and unrequited loves - by turns witty, playful, nostalgic and tragic - is captured in all its complexity by Bryony Lavery's spirited, sharply-written adaptation, first produced at Birmingham Rep in 2007.
