Anton Chekhov 
The Sea-Gull and The Swan Song 

For its brilliant use of subtext ’The Sea-Gull’ is considered to be one of Anton Chekhov’s most significant dramatic works. It is the story of the romantic and artistic conflicts between four main characters: Nina, the daughter of a wealthy landowner; Madame Irina Arkadina, a once leading actress; Konstantin Treplyov, her son and a playwright; and Trigorin, a well-known writer. Additionally in this edition you will find the much shorter one act play ’The Swan Song’.
