The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, The Cherry Orchard, The Three Sisters, The Bear, The Proposal….
Ok, so they are not two of his famous intense dramas, but they are short and funny.
Set in Wilde’s London, The Proposal, gives us a hypochondriac trying to propose to his neighbour whilst avoiding a land dispute and his rising hysteria. While The Bear, provides us with an angry creditor staging a sit down protest in the house of a grieving widow.
Who better than Chekhov, the acute observer of human nature, to capture ordinary people at their most inane, desperate and ridiculous? Two overlooked gems from one of Russia’s most cherished story tellers.
