The Seagull

The Seagull is a major four-act play by the Russian playwright written with full passion in 1895. It is a romantic drama with artistic conflicts among the four major characters. Though achieved a famous failure in the opening night of its first play, The Seagull became "one of the greatest events in the history of Russian theatre and one of the greatest new developments in the history of world drama." – Rudnitsky (1981, 8)
