Chekhov in the works of others

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??

Slawomir Mrozek:

"MILOSC NA KRYMIE / LOVE IN THE CRIMEA, which draws on the dramas of 
Anton Chekhov, is one of Mrozek's most recent plays. In this work the 
playwright draws a strong link between eroticism and love on one and, 
and politics on the other. The play is saturated with historiosophic 
pessimism and seems to turn its back on socially or historically 
conditioned forces, seeing hope in what is individual. After historical 
upheavals, man finds salvation in matters personal and individual."
