Synopsis

First published in hardback in 2003, Are You There Crocodile? is now available in paperback. Michael Penningtons work on his solo show about Anton Chekhov has taken Londons Russian Actor from the Trans-Siberian Railway to Soviet and post-Soviet Moscow, into the repertoires of the National Theatre and the Old Vic and across Europe. Are You There, Crocodile? also includes accounts of his work on Dostoevskys Crime and Punishment, Tolstoys Strider and other Russian projects, as well as searching essays on how Chekhovs four masterpieces actually work in the theatre. This book is a study of the great writer, a partial autobiography, and, centrally, an actors search for identification with the elusive Anton Chekhov himself ""the story, humorously told, of an unlikely but tangible companionship.""
