About this product

Product Information

These critically hailed translations of The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, The Three Sisters and the other Chekhov plays are the only ones in English by a Russian-language scholar who is also a veteran Chekhovian actor. Without compromising the spirit of the text, Paul Schmidt accurately translates Chekhov's entire theatrical canon, rescuing the humor "lost" in most academic translations while respecting the historical context and original social climate. Schmidt's translations of Chekhov have been successfully staged all over the U.S. by such theatrical directors as Lee Strasberg, Elizabeth Swados, Peter Sellars and Robert Wilson. Critics have hailed these translations as making Chekhov fully accessible to American audiences. They are also accurate -- Schmidt has been described as "the gold standard in Russian-English translation" by Michael Holquist of the Russian department at Yale University.

This seller is super nice about making sure your package gets to you. They bundled up all the things I bought in separate orders into one large box with tissue paper so they didn't rub together and mailed it out quick. USPS did some funny business and the seller was really nice and helped communicate everything they were doing to make sure it made it to me! Awesome customer service there and I love the things kimonos once they arrived. Thank you!!! I'll be back for more someday! A++++!

  • Oh the pain...

    I tried so hard to like and understand Checkov, but I just can't get there. I found his style skull-crushingly dull way back in freshman lit in college, but I thought I should give him another try 45 years later...no change. I must be a Philistine...

  • Great seller. Fast shipping. Accurate description of product.

    I attend The Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York, going into my second. I absolutely love Chekov and am very excited that I now have quite the collection of his plays! Can't wait to find my monologue for one of these plays to perform on the first day back! Thank you!!!! Beijos
