Publisher Description

The Seagull is a play by Russian dramatist Anton Chekhov, written in 1895 and first produced in 1896. The Seagull explores the complexities of human relationships. Taking place on a summer estate in Russia, the characters are all connected through their passions, rivalries, and unrequited love. Featuring themes of love, jealousy, and emotional turmoil, The Seagull has been praised for its realistic dialogue and captivating plot.

When Konstantin Stanislavski, the seminal Russian theatre practitioner of the time, directed it in 1898 for his Moscow Art Theatre, the play was a triumph. Stanislavski's production became "one of the greatest events in the history of Russian theatre and one of the greatest new developments in the history of world drama".
