Anton Chekhov's Selected Plays

This Norton Critical Edition includes five of Chekhov's major plays-- Ivanov , The Seagull , Uncle Vanya , Three Sisters , and The Cherry Orchard --and three early one-act farces that inform his later work--The Bear, The Wedding, and The Celebration. Laurence Senelick's masterful translations closely preserve Chekhov's singular style--his abundant jokes and literary allusions and his careful use of phrase repetition to bind the plays together.
