The Seagull / Anton Chekhov in a version by Martin Crimp.

Chaika. English

80 p. ; 20 cm.

Based on a literal translation and critical commentary by Helen Rappaport.

Nina, a young, aspiring actress and the daughter of a wealthy landowner; Madame Irina Arkadina, once a great leading actress; Konstantin Treplyov, her son and a playwright; and Trigorin, Irina’s lover and a well-known writer. While Chekhov intended that the play be more comedic in tone, it is often performed and interpreted as a subtle and nuanced tragedy, full of doomed romances, frustrated artistic ambitions, loneliness, and regret.
