Overview
This collection reunites playwright Richard Nelson with translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky for a fresh and theatrical translation of some of Chekhovās best-loved shorter works. The title play,Ā Swan Song,Ā begins as a despairing monologue by an elder actor looking over a career of disappointment, but soon becomes a joyous celebration of theatrical creation once the actor recruits the theaterās prompter to play supporting roles ranging fromĀ LearāsĀ Fool toĀ HamletāsĀ Guildenstern. Other plays include the much-performedĀ The WeddingĀ and the dramatic monologueĀ On the Harmfulness of Tobacco. These one-acts are ideal for scene study classes and recitals, as well as for readers of classic Russian literature.
