A retelling of Anton Chekhov · 1890

The Wood Demon

“A retired professor and his beautiful young wife come to live on a country estate, and the household falls apart around them: the professor's brother-in-law, who has worked for him all his life, despairs; a young doctor who plants forests — the 'Wood Demon' — loves the professor's daughter but judges everyone harshly. Chekhov's early comedy, which he later rebuilt as Uncle Vanya.”
