 According to the theatrical agent [[Gordon Dickerson]] it was rather surprising that, to the best of his knowledge, no one else except [[Reza de Wet]] had seemingly thought to update Chekhov’s story to a more contemporary period before she did. Interestingly, a few years after he had started circulating the English version of the South African play,  a Swedish adaptation of Chekhov’s play was written which was set during the Second World War, a similar period of uncertainty about what the future would be.
