We recorded this starting at 12:30am…#tablingafterhours. In this final act of Ivanov, a much shorter act than the two previous acts, our feelings about Lvov have certainly changed since the beginning of the play. Everyone is a bit edgy at this wedding-something is not quite right. Is it Ivanov's chronic depression, or is it something else? We discovered that one of the most poignant tragedies in this act is watching Lebedev lose his vitality and buoyancy. Can someone please tell us about all the bird imagery-is it all to do with freedom? And finally, pondering Ivanov's last thoughts "Leave me alone" and "Thank you Sasha," we reflect on the decisive final action within the chaos at the end of a play.
