The Seagull
Two years after its disastrous opening in 1896, The Seagull was successfully revived at the Moscow Art Theatre. Checkhov's self-mocking description of the play was: A comedy - 3F, 6M, four acts, rural scenery (a view over a lake); much talk of literature, little action, five bushels of love.
