Return to Anton Chekhov

...a superb, many-sided Vershinin from Michael Pennington.

-Independent on Sunday


Pennington and Cusack [Sinead] create one of the outstanding relationships in this production.

-The Sunday Tribune


Michael Pennington also catches just the right element of vanity in Vershinin’s philosophising and downright impatience...

-The Guardian


Michael Pennington, as the vain Vershinin, gives a wonderfully vampiric performance, drawing sympathy and love from others and only responding with what he ludicrously terms “philisophy”.

-The Times
