Nope, not much of a poet, I’m afraid! But I do like me some Pasternak. And Vyacheslav Ivanov and Anna Yablonskaya.

Do you write poetry? Who are your favorite poets? You are so lucky you can read Ukrainian and Russian! I’d love to read some of your poems.

Hello, Natasha,

I once posted the following comment on your blog:

Since I no longer work for that company, and the comment verges on spam anyway, I want to kindly ask you to delete it from your blog.

Happy holidays and thank you for your understanding!

All the best and shine on!

Thanks. The Chekhov Cabaret we are doing in August features his earliest writings when AC was doing humorous and satiric sketches for popular magazines and newspapers in Moscow, during his medical studies and to help support his family. All this before he decided to become a serious writer. Many of stories are quite wild and surreal. Many are popular vaudevilles and very comic. I shall be getting actors and other performers to do these pieces plus talking about Chekhov with a number of guest artists and writers visiting the Edinburgh Festival (http://www.edfringe.com/ and http://www.eif.co.uk/). Different elements each night. You strike as someone who could make a unique contribution. It also sounds like you write plays (or trying to).

Hi Michael -Thank you. I’m not much of a performer these days, and I am mystified by the idea of performing a blog even more so than by the idea of Chekhov cabaret – but it would be interesting to hear more.

P.S. Joan, the commenting section at Salon is such a cesspool. Even if I did have time for it, I would totally stay away!

I just wandered on to your website. Terrific writing! Do you ever come to the UK? This August (16-22) I am doing a late night ‘Chekhov Cabaret’ 12:30am until? I am looking for guest artists to perform in celebration of Chekhov’s 150th and in aid of Richard Demarco’s 80th. Richard is the great impresaario of the Edinburgh Fringe and the avant-garde (http://www.richarddemarco.org/). Your blog related to Chekhov and theatre and humor in Russia/Moscow today would be ideal to have you perform on stage.

What do you think?

Michael

Hey, are you still posting to Salon? I’m using a different alias these daze. And, I’ve matured. I was a little discombobulated for awhile

I’m an Actress now, and we just finished a five week run of the Vag[in]a Monologues (and part of our cast did a reprise this weekend as a private engagement). My monologue was The Memory of Her Face. As you must know, the second part os about the disappeared women of Juaréz, Mexico. I had known nothing of this. Each time I finished and exited, I had to just grab into a shelf back stage for half a minute to recover. Situations like this exist Now, as we speak. It is so incredibly effed up

Keep in touch <3
