Adasheva

also: Адашева

An actress named only by surname, asked here whether she will again play the role of "Prince (Obo) Lensky" -- Chekhov hopes not, preferring the actor Chernov in the part. Not otherwise identified or attested elsewhere in this corpus; possibly connected to the Adashev family name attested in Suvorin's play "Tatyana Repina" (where a journalist character is named Adashev), but no confirmed link, left unglossed pending further research rather than guessed at.
