Anton Chekhov
The Major Plays

Ivanov * The Sea Gull * Uncle Vanya * The Three Sisters * The Cherry Orchard

â€œLet the things that happen onstage be just as complex and yet just as simple as they are in life,â€ Chekhov once declared. â€œFor instance, people are having a meal, just having a meal, but at the same time, their happiness is being created, or their lives are being smashed up.â€ So it is that his plays express life through subtle construction, everyday dialogue, and an electrically charged atmosphere in which even the most casual words and actions assume great importance in his charactersâ€™ lives. This principle sets his plays apart from the rest, steering them clear of melodrama, and draws the audience into the lives of Chekhovâ€™s colorful characters. Because of his adherence to realism, the playwright has been called an â€œincomparable artist of life.â€*

â€œWhat makes his work great is that it can be felt and understood not only by any Russian but by anybody in the world.â€â€”*Leo Tolstoy
