"Bouncing breathlessly onto the stage, Hannah Knapp is a totally new Nina: radiant, effervescent, and bursting with youthful enthusiasm...She is truly a breath of fresh air...A richer, deeper theatrical presentation reveals new insights and increases an appreciation of Chekhov’s masterful grasp of human character." |
