[Next Project] The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov (trans. by Constance Garnett)

[Devin O'Bannon]

Hello all,

For my next production, I'd like to do "The Cherry Orchard" by Anton Chekhov. 

From the research I've done on translation, within what's available in the public domain, Constance Garnett is (notwithstanding some issues) a trustworthy translator of Russian. Since I haven't been able to find any transcriptions of this play in the Garnett translation, I'll be transcribing it from scratch. (My hope is to eventually transcribe and produce all of the rest of Chekhov's plays in Garnett's translations for Standard Ebooks.)

Thanks,

Devin
