[edit] PLAYS 'IVANOV', 'THE SEAGULL', 'UNCLE VANYA', 'THREE SISTERS', 'THE CHERRY ORCHARD'
At a time when the Russian stage was dominated by farces, formulaic melodramas and vaudevilles, Chekhov created plays without heroes and villains, and focused instead on the individual grappling with a moral dilemma. This is a collection of five of his plays.
Contains: Ivanov, The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sister, The Cherry Orchard Chekhov described medicine as his lawful wife, and drama as a 'flamboyant, rowdy, impudent, exhausting mistress'. He began writing plays at a time when Russian theatre was dominated by bedroom farces, formulaic melodramas, and vaudevilles. His plays do not contain heroes and villains, but characters who grapple with complex moral questions. The premiere of his first play, Ivanov (1887) was met with bafflement, rage, and scorn, and his handling of the themes of love, work and time make the plays just as provocative for today's audiences.
