From the master twentieth-century playwright Tennessee Williams-an
adaptation of Chekhov's The Sea Gull, never before available to the
general trade. The Notebook of Trigorin is faithful to Chekhov's
story of longing and unrequited love. Set on a provincial Russian
Estate, its peaceful environs offer stark contrast to the turbulent
lives of its characters. Constantine, a young writer, must compete
for the attention of his mother, a self-obsessed, often comical
aging actress, Madame Arkadina, and his romantic ideal, Nina. His
rival for both women is Trigorin, an established author bound to
Arkadina by her patronage of his work, and attracted to Nina by her
beauty. Trigorin cannot keep himself from consuming everything of
value in Constantine's life. Only in the final scenes do all
discover that the price for love and fragility can be horribly
high. But if the words in The Notebook of Trigorin are essentially
Chekhov's, the voice belongs firmly to Tennessee Williams. The
dialogue resonates with echoes of the themes Williams developed as
his signatures-compassion for the artistic soul and its
vulnerability in the face of the world's "successfully practiced
duplicity" (Act I).
