When a review starts off like this:
When a theater critic encounters unexpected radiance on stage — as in CSU's production of Chekhov in Yalta — he has to struggle to prevent himself from becoming a cliché-spouting sycophant.
you know you're in for a good time.
Read the rest of Christie Howey's review of Chekhov in Yalta in Scene Magazine, then come see it for yourself.
Okay, I can't stop myself, here's another quote:
The production itself was like watching alchemy happen. To start at the top, we pay tribute to the director Cathy Hartenstein. Rarely has the magic hand of a skilled director been so evident. She brings effective casting, an understanding of the historical character's nuance, style and period, and created incredible visuals with blocking and pacing.
