Hello, list members --
I'm the artistic director of a theater company that specializes in adapting literature for the stage. We're getting ready to do a production based on three Gogol stories ("The Overcoat," "Diary of a Madman," "The Nose"), and there are a couple of things you folks might be able to help me with, if you'd be so kind.
1) I'm trying to figure out how to represent the noselessness of Kovalev in "The Nose." How has this been handled in past productions (stage, TV, or film)? How well did these various approaches work?
2) Can anybody recommend a website or book containing pictures of 19th-century Russian uniforms, for both the civil service and the military?
I'd also be interested in miscellaneous comments regarding adaptations of these stories.
Thanks,
Steve Schroer
