First published in hardback in 2003, Are You There Crocodile? is now available in paperback. Michael Pennington s work on his solo show about Anton Chekhov has taken London s Russian Actor from the Trans-Siberian Railway to Soviet and post-Soviet Moscow, into the repertoires of the National Theatre and the Old Vic and across Europe.Are You There, Crocodile? also includes accounts of his work on Dostoevsky s Crime and Punishment, Tolstoy s Strider and other Russian projects, as well as searching essays on how Chekhov s four masterpieces actually work in the theatre. This book is a study of the great writer, a partial autobiography, and, centrally, an actor s search for identification with the elusive Anton Chekhov himself "the story, humorously told, of an unlikely but tangible companionship."
