Autor

Anton Chekhov, Russian dramatist and short-story writer, was born in 1860, the son of a grocer and the grandson of a serf. After graduating in medicine from Moscow University in 1884, he began to make his name in the theatre with the one-act comedies The Bear, The Proposal and The Wedding. His earliest full-length plays, Ivanov (1887) and The Wood Demon (1889), were not successful, and The Seagull, produced in 1896, was a failure until a triumphant revival by the Moscow Art Theatre in 1898. This was followed by Uncle Vanya (1899), Three Sisters (1901) and The Cherry Orchard(1904), shortly after the production of which Chekhov died. The first English translations of his plays were performed within five years of his death.

Rezensionen

A masterly triple bill... unforgettably charts Chekhov's progress from farce to melodrama to a new symphonic realism. Guardian
