# The sea-gull

By Anton Pavlovich Chekhov.

"The Sea-Gull" by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is a play written in 1895. Four characters clash over art and love at a country estate: a fading actress, her aspiring playwright son, a famous writer, and a young woman who dreams of the stage. Romantic entanglements intertwine with artistic ambitions as characters speak in subtext rather than direct declarations. The opening night in 1896 was a notorious disaster, but a later production became a triumph that transformed Russian theatre forever. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
