Walking the dog Theater presents the 3rd production for its 2009 Season: I TAKE YOUR HAND IN MINE, by Carol Rocamora. Directed by Walking the dog Theater’s Artistic Director, Benedicta Bertau, and starring David Anderson as Anton Chekhov and Bethany Caputo as his wife Olga Knipper. This is the love story between Anton Chekhov, famous playwright and lover of humanity, and Olga Knipper, founding member and leading lady for the world famous Moscow Art Theatre. Olga and Anton knew each other for six years, the last three of which they were married, until his death in 1904. During the short time they knew each other; Olga and Anton wrote over 400 letters to each other. Here is their story, in their own words.
Presented in the intimate setting of Space 360 in Hudson, this evening of theater invites audiences into the lives of two exceptional people, their intimate, funny, colorful, and poignant journey with each other and the world of Russia around the run of the last century. After its summer 2009 success of Virtue, Desire, Death and Foolishness – an Evening of Tales from Anton Chekhov (directed by Melania Levitsky), Walking the dog Theater is honored to spend more time with one of the great writers and personalities of Russian culture – and the mercurial and passionate artist who was his wife.
Olympia Dukakis hailed I TAKE YOUR HAND IN MINE (which Carol Rocamora created for her and Louis Zorich) as “A gift for all lovers of the theater.”
