About Five Essential Plays
“In all the universe nothing remains permanent and unchanged but the spirit.” - THE SEAGULL
Five Essential Plays is a collection of dramatic works by Russian author Anton Chekhov, published in the years 1887-1904: Ivanov, The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, The Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard.
During an era when Russian theatre typically meant melodrama or farce, Chekhov produced a ground breaking new kind of play, focussing instead on the lives, loves and general concerns of regular people living ordinary lives. In The Seagull we see a young man’s self-centred romanticism contrasted with the stoic response to being abandoned by her lover, while the Prozorov sisters yearn to escape the monotony of provincial life by going to Moscow in The Three Sisters. A truly unmissable collection of plays by a Russian playwright at the height of this powers.
