'...Many conversations about literature, little action, and five poods [181 pounds] of love.' That is how Anton Chekhov described his comedy, in which Medvedenko loves Masha, Masha loves Treplev, Treplev loves Nina, and Nina loves Trigorin, all while Shamrayev loves Polina Andreyevna, Polina Andreyevna loves Dorn, Dorn loves Arkadina, and Arkadina loves Trigorin. The situation becomes less comedic for a short period of time when two of these characters fall in love with each other, but 'the circumstances have unexpectedly made it so that' this arcadia doesn't last too long. There is 'little action' in the play, just the characters living their lives: some suffering from the creative process, some searching for fame, some desperately trying to live, some constantly attempting to end their life, all while new art forms are struggling to co-exist with the old... and-did we forget?-everyone is looking for love...
Translated by a Russian director and actor, this dramatic translation is deeply rooted in insights from his ongoing work on his own theatrical production as director and on the character of Trigorin as actor. Many textual and visual elements and clues that are essential to the story and character interpretation are presented in the English language for the first time. The book includes online access to additional materials, including the translator and director's selected notes as well as audio and video resources.
