Summary

The Darling by Anton Chekhov is a humorous and poignant character study of an endearing woman. Chekhov gives us a puzzling heroine who seems to subordinate herself to the male intellect yet emerges as a gentle woman blighted by disappointment, but still "soldiering on."

The Darling is narrated by professional actor Sara Morsey in an understated style which allows the full character of "Olinka" to shine through. Food for thought in this one, as is always the case with Chekhov.
