I Take Your Hand in Mine, is about the affair, which has lasted six years sustained by the correspondence from Yalta to Moscow and the brief dates, between Anton Chekhov and Olga Knipper who have met during the rehearsals of Chekhov’s The Seagull which was staged by Stanislavsky in Moscow. Written for Olympia Dukakis and her husband Louis Zorich by the American Chekhov specialist playwright and translator Carol Rocamora, I Take Your Hand in Mine has brought old friends together. Başar Sabuncu, Metin Deniz and Cüneyt Türel, who first worked together fifty years ago, come together again for this play which is supported by the festival as co-producer.
