A Methuen Student Edition of Chekhov's classic play in Michael
Frayn's acclaimed translation 'The play has been flooded with
light, like a room with the curtains drawn back' John Peter, Sunday
Times 'The direct simplicity of this new translation ... uncovers
not only the nerve endings of Chekhov's restless malcontents but
also their comic absurdities. It is, as he always intended,
actually funny ...' Jack Tinker, Daily Mail When it opened in St
Petersburg in 1896, The Seagull survived only five performances
after a disastrous first night. Two years later it was revived by
Nemirovich-Danchenko at the newly-founded Moscow Art Theatre with
Stanslasky as Trigorin and was an immediate success. Checkhov's
description of the play was characteristically self-mocking: "A
comedy - 3F, 6M, four acts, rural scenery (a view over a lake);
much talk of literature, little action, five bushels of love".
Michael Frayn's translation was commissioned by the Oxford
Playhouse Company.
