Chekhov in the works of others

[Inna Caron]

1) Tennesse Williams's remake of Chaika (The Notebook of Trigorin) - the
latter is cast as bisexual with a certain interest in Kostya

2) Joshua Logan's remake of Vishnevyi Sad (Wisteria Trees) - set on a
Louisiana plantation.

Subject: [SEELANGS] Chekhov in the works of others

Dear list members,
Once again, an appeal to your collective wisdom: can anyone think of any
texts, either by Russian writers or writers of other nationalities,
contemporary or not, that somehow engage with, make reference to, rework,
etc. any of Chekhov's texts?  Katherine Mansfield is an obvious one;
Viacheslav P'etsukh is another (and I am aware of Lyudmila Parts' book on
Chekhovian intertext), although he has not been translated very much, as far
as I know??  Any others??  
I'm specifically looking for works that are translated into English, as I am
hoping to include them as part of an undergraduate course on Chekhov.  I'm
also specifically looking for works that engage with Chekhov in a concrete
way, i.e., not simply with his style or tone.  
Please reply off-list to yfurman at humnet.ucla.edu
Many thanks in advance.
Yelena Furman
