Daniel Veronese's “Proyecto Chéjov”

Director-playwright Daniel Veronese is arguably Argentina’s most successful theatre artist. ¹ A founding member of famed Argentine experimental object-theatre company El Periférico de Objetos and author-director of such plays as Mujeres soñaron caballos (Women Dreamt Horses), ² he is also a successful commercial director of Neil LaBute and David Mamet. Nevertheless, Veronese has perhaps had the greatest impact on the international performance scene with what he called his “Proyecto Chéjov” (“Chekhov Project”) and its radical versions of the Russian playwright’s Three Sisters and Uncle Vanya.
