Майя Волчкевич - The Seagull. A comedy of delusions

The book is devoted to a play which became on its appearance a turning point in Russian, and later world, art. A vast amount has been written about the play. However, “The Seagull” still attracts producers, actors and critics; they read it every time as if for the frst time. This book attempts the same. It is addressed to all those who are interested in Chekhov’s work and the “eternal questions” of his “strange” play, “The Seagull”.
