"Pevear and Volokhonsky are at once scrupulous translators and vivid stylists of English." -James Wood, New Yorker

The Seagull, in this new translation for TCG's Russian Drama Series, includes lines and variants found in Chekhov's final version of the play, but omitted from the script for the original performance at the Moscow Art Theatre in 1898, which went on to become the standard printed version. The restored text, a product of the continuing collaboration of playwright Richard Nelson and translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, provides valuable insight into Chekhov's intentions in his groundbreaking play.
