The Wood Demon and sees Dr. Astrov fall in love with Yelena.
Eric Bentley identifies this play as the point where its author destroyed the climax in an essay titled for "Craftsmanship in" it. One of its characters is an environmentalist doctor who assembled a series of maps showing the deforestation of his country over time. The first act ends with a polka played on a guitar by "Waffles," who is nicknamed for his pitted complexion. This drama is a re-working of its author's (*) The Wood Demon and sees Dr. Astrov fall in love with Yelena. It opens after Professor Serebryakov visits the country estate where his daughter Sophie and the title character have worked tirelessly to support him for the past 25 years. For 10 points, name this play named for Ivan Voynitsky, a work of Anton Chekhov.
