Three Sisters: a Play (Paperback, 1st Evergreen Ed): Anton Pavlovich Chekhov Three Sisters: a Play (Paperback, 1st Evergreen Ed)
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
R411 R336 Discovery Miles 3 360 Save R75 (18%) Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In this, his third adaptation of a Chekhov play, Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Mamet offers a contemporary, highly accessible version of Chekhov's The Three Sisters. Working from a literal translation by Vlada Chernomordik, Mamet has rediscovered the characteristically modern chords in this powerful play and breathes new life into a timeless classic. This is Chekhov rendered in direct, colloquial language marked by Mamet's finely tuned ear for dialogue.
The play focuses on the lives of three sisters, Olga, Masha, and Irina, young women of the Russian gentry who try to fill their days in order to construct a life that feels meaningful while surrounded by an array of military men, servants, husbands, suitors, and lovers, all of whom constitute a distraction from the passage of time and from the sisters' desire to return to their beloved Moscow.
"Mamet's ear is famously impeccable, the dialogue is always authentic and convincing.... This adaptation] will help to undermine our silly critical notions of 'definitive' Chekhov. Mamet has made me rethink the play," said Robert Brustein in The New Republic of Mamet's adaptation of The Cherry Orchard. And the Chicago-Sun Times called it "audacious, consistently arresting."

Platonov (Paperback, Main): Anton Pavlovich Chekhov Platonov (Paperback, Main)
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov; Adapted by David Hare; Translated by David Hare
R365 Discovery Miles 3 650 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In 1997, the celebrated contemporary playwright David Hare adapted a little-known play called Ivanov, and in doing so revealed the young Chekhov as a markedly different writer from the one English-speaking audiences were familiar with. Now Hare has produced a streamlined new version of Chekhov's freshman drama Platonov, an abandoned seven-hour manuscript in which Chekhov recasts Don Juan as a Russian schoolmaster. Again, we encounter a great writer who is funnier, more exuberant, and more wildly romantic than anyone expected.
