All the farces of Russia's greatest dramatist are rendered here in the classic lively translations which audiences and scholars alike applaud on the stage and in the classroom. The blustering, stuttering eloquence of Chekhov's unlikely heroes has endured to shape the voice of contemporary theatre. This voume presents seven minor masterpieces: Harmfulness of Tobacco * Swan Song * The Brute * Marriage Proposal * Summer in the Country * A Wedding * The Celebration.
