All the farces of Russia's greatest dramatist are rendered here in classic lively translations which audiences and scholars alike applaud on the stage and in the classroom. The blustering, stuttering eloquence of Chekhov's unlikely heroes has endured to shape the voice of contemporary theatre. This volume presents seven minor masterpieces:

The Harmfulness Of Tobacco
-- Swan Song
-- A Marriage
-- Proposal
-- The Celebration
-- A Wedding
-- Summer In The Country
-- The Brute.
