"Chekhov, speaking simply and never otherwise than as an artist and
a humane man, shows us in fullness and plenitude the mystery of our
lives."-Eudora Welty "What writers influenced me as a young man?
Chekhov! As a dramatist? Chekhov! As a story writer?
Chekhov!"-Tennessee Williams The Seagull is Anton Chekhov's
brilliant four-act play that is considered a monumental work of
drama, and one of the most sublime literary examinations of the
complexities of love and friendship. First performed over a century
ago, this play remains one of the most widely staged productions
throughout the world. The four protagonists in The Seagull are all
artists; Trigorin is a well-established writer, Arkadina is a
renowned yet aging actress, her son Treplev is a struggling writer,
and Nina is a young aspiring actress who is in love with Treplev.
Success in love and in their art is a shared intent, yet within the
play each character experiences an existential crisis in the
darkness of unrequited love. With its play-within-a-play, its nods
to Shakespeare, and intimate and profound character portrayals,
this is an essential read for all serious students of drama and
Russian literature. With an eye-catching new cover, and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Seagull is
both modern and readable.
