About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
A LibriVox dramatic recording of The Seagull, by Anton Chekhov, translated by Marian Fell. The Seagull (Russian: Чайка, Chayka) is the first of what are generally considered to be the four major plays by the Russian dramatist Anton Chekhov. The play was written in 1895 and first produced in 1896. It dramatises the romantic and artistic conflicts between four characters: the ingenue Nina, the fading leading lady Irina Arkadina, her son the experimental playwright Konstantin Treplyov, and the famous middlebrow story writer Trigorin.
