But first, from Nov 12 – 22nd, in collaboration with the Chekhov Collective, Theatre Kingston brings you I Take Your Hand In Mine… by Carol Rocamora. Starring Theatre Kingston Alumni, Richard Sheridan Willis (who we loved in Boy Beatle, These Deeds and Happy Days) and the Artistic Director of the Chekhov Collective, Rena Polley.

“I am thrilled that we were able to get Rena Polley to offer her Chekhov Technique workshop, Igniting the Imagination during this run. We are offering the course as a Show and Workshop bundle, how great to learn the technique and see it’s use in action!” glows Theatre Kingston’s Artistic Director, Rosemary Doyle.

I take your hand in mine… is a play suggested by the love letters of Anton Chekhov and Olga Knipper and traces the passionate relationship between the world-famous dramatist and Russia's leading actress. Their six year correspondence spans the birth of the Moscow Art Theatre and the production of Chekhov's four major plays. Embedded into the everyday are gems of theatre history and insights into Chekhov's creative process, as well as a real-life drama that is as tempestuous, teasing and spontaneous as any Chekhov play.
