Senelick's translation captures the three-part style of the play in its diction. The gentry speak standard Chekhov, Victorian dialect. The upwardly mobile Lopakhin (Ken Tigar), sweet, young Anya (Carolyn Firth) and occasional flunkeys speak a slangy, colloquial tongue, fresh and awkward; while a pod of surrounding actors, led by the shlemielesque "perennial student" Trofimov (Lloyd Schwartz), with his utopian panegyrics discoursed of Yepikhodov, talk a well-tuned language of parody and farce.

...billion in capital has flowed in since World War II, and Scotland has outpaced the rest of Britain in its industrial growth rate for three years. In Fife, for example, U.S. and British electronics manufacturers have built more than 100 new factories in a California-type complex along the Firth of Forth. Today Scotland turns out more electronic computers than any other country except the U.S.; Scots generate more electric power per capita with nuclear reactors than any other country...
