Heres a quick review from the latest Russian-language adaptation of Three
Sister's at the Kennedy Center this October.

I sat down for a quick talk with Alex Falberg, who went up to DC to see
the show. I hope to have a more lengthy discussion with him about it soon.
So, just a little info about the Baron from the production: Really used
the character's warmth, and caring nature, everyone loved to have him
around in close friendship, a definitely likable kind of a guy, but maybe
not so much as to have an intimate relationship. The Baron had a pair of
glasses in the production, and was almost completely blind without them.
During his last scene in Act IV with Irina, they used this concept.
Initially they had a great distance between them, and as they moved closer
she removed his glasses and they had a playful, almost childlike game of
it. Such a contrasting lightness to the overcoming, dire circumstances
ahead of the moment. Maybe something to toy with in rehearsal?
