Barnes Theatre, London, in Church Road, Barnes, two-tier hall built about 1905 which opened as a small theatre in 1925. After several short runs of new plays came the much-publicized stage version of
Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy himself, with Gwen
Ffrangcon-Davies as Tess.
Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, which opened in Jan. 1926 with Jean
Forbes-Robertson as Sonia, heralded a remarkable run of Russian plays—Chekhov's
Three Sisters with
Gielgud as Tusenbach,
Andreyev's Katerina, again with Gielgud,
Gogol's The Government Inspector with Charles
Laughton—all directed by
Komisarjevsky. A dramatization of Dostoevsky's
The Idiot was followed by John
Drinkwater's adaptation of Hardy's novel
The Mayor of Casterbridge, which he also directed. Chekhov returned with
The Cherry Orchard and a revival of
Three Sisters, and this interesting and extremely fruitful venture ended in Nov. 1926 after a revival of Drinkwater's
Abraham Lincoln.
