Le moine noir: d'après Tchekhov | 
It's LGBTQ Pride month & I am reading a play by the Russian author, film director & gay activist Kirill Serebrennikov. He was put under house arrest and only managed to leave Russia last year. The play retells the story of Chekhov's Black Monk, also included in the book, from the point of view of each main characters in turn. Not sure it's entirely successful, but I enjoyed the original story.
