The Seagull by Anton Chekhov is now available for free ePub download or online reading.
Intro:
A Methuen Student Edition of Chekhov’s classic play in Michael Frayn’s acclaimed translation.
When it first opened in St Petersburg in 1896, The Seagull survived only five performances after a disastrous first opening 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.. First published January 1, 1895. Original format: Paperback. Pages: 65. #the-seagull-ebook #the-seagull-epub #read #download
