Chekhov Anton Pavlovich Livres

The first complete American translation of Chekhov's ten vaudevilles. The comedic one-act farces The Bear, The Proposal, On the Harmful Effects of Tobacco, The Night Before the Trial, On the High Road, The Wedding, The Anniversary, A Tragic Role, and Tatyana Repina. These are jewels for the stage -- ready to use for actors and directors, and for students of drama who wish to enrich their appreciation of the virtuosity and complexity of this great Russian playwright. Chekhov wrote these confections early in his career, before he tuned to his serious plays. All ten have been newly (and faithfully) translated and assembled in a unique collection here, to make them fresh and accessible for contemporary actors and audiences. An introduction is included for literary historical perspective, as well as a glossary and pronunciation guide for the actor's usage.

La Cerisaie, pièce de tous les malentendus entre l'auteur et ses admirateurs. Comédie, pour Tchékhov. Tragédie pour Stanislavski et tous les metteurs en scène qui lui ont succédé. Inaccessible aux Français, pense aussi Tchékhov, qui écrit à Olga Knipper : " Ma douce, mon petit cheval, à quoi bon traduire ma pièce en français ? C'est grotesque ! Les Français ne comprendront ni Lopakhine ni la vente de la propriété et ne feront que s'ennuyer. Il ne faut pas le faire, ma douce. C'est inutile. " Tchékhov, le plus joué, le plus aimé, le plus célèbre des incompris.
