This volume includes The Seagull, a about the battle for power
between a mother and her son which ends in tragedy; Uncle Vanya
tells of two obsessive love affairs that lead nowhere, and a
flirtation that brings disaster; Three Sisters in which three
siblings wrestle with their futures and The Cherry Orchard where
the old must inevitably give way to the new. Haunting and elusive,
these four great late masterpieces have found in Michael Frayn a
translator who perfectly captures their delicate balance of the
tragic and the absurd. The volume also contains four of Chekhov's
early short 'vaudevilles' as well as a substantial introduction by
Michael Frayn. "The critical clamour for a Complete Chekhov in
Michael Frayn's translation has borne fruit" (Sunday Times)
