The Seagull
By Anton Chekhov (1860-1904). Translated by Marian Fell

The Seagull (Russian: Yaka, Chayka) is the first of what are generally considered to be the four
major plays by the Russian dramatist Anton Chekhov. The play was written in 1895 and first
produced in 1896. It dramatises the romantic and artistic conflicts between four characters: the
ingenue Nina, the fading leading lady Irina Arkadina, her son the experimental playwright Konstantin
Treplyov, and the famous middlebrow story writer Trigorin. (Summary by Wikipedia) Total running
