‘The Present’: Director John Crowley Delivers a Birthday Cate (Blanchett) to Broadway
During the past decade, Cate Blanchett from faraway Down Under has dazzlingly paraded some world-famed females before New York audiences—Hedda Gabler, one of The Maids, Blanche DuBois, Vanya’s Elena Andreyev—but, for her belated Broadway bow January 8 at the Barrymore, she opted to play a lesser-known character.
Anna Petrovna is lesser known because she was in the first draft of the first play by Anton Chekhov, and when Maria Yermolova—the Maly Theater diva he wrote it for—rejected it, he never went back to it.
