He speaks about replacing Robert Stevens for the last leg of the tour and
doing the film version that Oliver created.
Alan says of Vershinin
"Vershinin is this figure who almost becomes a fantasy a mirage for the
three sisters. Particularly, of course, for Masha who falls in love with
him. And he… plays up to that not maliciously… not he’s just someone who
lives out an idea of himself or someone else’s idea of himself. It’s a
stran… He’s almost like drifting though life and letting it all happen to
him. And he plays the role that the circumstances give him. And I think
that’s th difficulty of playing him and also the sort of mystery of it.
And the ambiguity of him. You can’t quite get him you can’t quite catch
him you know."
