Jay Scheib Stages ‘Platonov, or The Disinherited’

NYTimes.com: A century and a half ago, Anton Chekhov wrote a play while still a medical student. Never performed or published in his lifetime, it was discovered in a locked box years after his death. This sprawling 20-character work, left untitled, has subsequently appeared as “Play Without Title,” “Without Fathers,” “A Country Scandal,” “Don Juan in the Russian Manner” and as the film “Unfinished Piece for the Player Piano.”
This week the director Jay Scheib will offer his own version. Or is that two versions?
