Impure Tragedians and Leprous Playwrights

Impure Tragedians and Leprous Playwrights

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a passionate admirer of the theater from a young age. "The theater gave me a lot of good, — he wrote in his memoirs, — by attending the theater, we became much wiser in just three... or four years and gained far more knowledge than in all nine or ten years spent in the gymnasium." His love for the theater took on various forms in the author's work. Chekhov not only wrote extensively for the theater — he remains one of the most sought-after playwrights in the world — but also performed in home productions and frequently touched upon theatrical themes in his prose. This edition includes the author's stories related to the theater, such as "After the Theater," "The Critic," "Wives of Artists," "The Entrepreneur Under the Sofa," the vaudevilles "The Bear," "The Proposal," "The Tragedian by Necessity," and other works.
