Product Description

John Peter, Sunday Times

'The play has been flooded with light, like a room with the curtains drawn back' --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.


Jack Tinker, Daily Mail

'The direct simplicity of this new translation ... uncovers not only the nerve endings of Chekhov's restless malcontents but also their comic absurdities. It is, as he always intended, actually funny ...' --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Version in English, 14 Oct 2008
By Richard Kirwan "RB" (London, England) - See all my reviews
I've read several versions of Chekhov's masterpiece "The Seagull", and Frayn's version is by far the best. Despite not having read it in it's original language, this version has layers of subtext with pure realism that would have made him proud. It's also one of the few versions that makes sense of the names (many versions have a variety of names) which makes it easier to understand for someone who has not studied his works.

This version (Methuen Student Edition) is accompanied by an interesting, if slightly short, introduction by the translator, and has a useful glossary and history of Chekhov's life. Definitely a good version to buy, especially for someone reading it for the first time.
