The Seagull
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 MailWhen 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.

Anton Chekhov. Earliest Stories
"Anton Chekhov: Earliest Stories offers the first comprehensive translation in English… And it is supremely juvenile in the best way." -The GuardianThis volume comprises a complete annotated translaton of Anton Chekhov's fifty eight earliest stories, arranged in chronological order. Written between 1880 and 1882, when Chekhov was in his early twenties and still at medical school, they were all published in comic magazines. Many have never been translated before. Ranging from comic tales, hilarious skits to literary parodies, outrageous potboilers and poignant novellas, they offer a revealing window into this little known early chapter of Chekhov’s life and literary career. The collection represents the conclusion of a unique “crowd-translated” project involving eighty five volunteers from nine countries, including the editors. Due to the collaborative nature of the early processes of revision, the translations are collectively ascribed.

The Seagull
"Many conversations about literature, little action, five poods 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 little while when two of these characters fall in love with each other, but "the circumstances have unexpectedly made it so that" this arcadia does not last too long. There is "little action" in the play, just the characters living their lives: some suffer from the creative process, some search for fame, some desperately try to live, some constantly attempt to end their life--all while new art forms are struggling to coexist with the old. And--did we forget?--everyone is looking for love . . .Translated by Anton Korenev, a Russian actor and director, 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. Additional materials, including the translator and director's selected notes and audio and video resources, are available on the complementary website theseagullplay.com.¿, the trademark and service mark for our undertakings related to The Seagull, is both a letter in the Russian alphabet and a number.The letter, pronounced as [ch], is the first letter of the following relevant words in Russian:the family name of the playwright;the name of the play [cháika];the family name of the composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky, a contemporary and friend of Anton Chekhov, whose music is used extensively in the theatrical production;the word for the number four [chetýre].The number symbolizes:the four acts;the four seasons corresponding to each of the four acts;the four movements of a symphony;the four characters whose lives intertwine the most.
