They don't know that while writing a good play is difficult, writing a bad one is twice as hard, and terrifying.' 'You want to commit yourself wholly to the theatre. That's all very well, and the game is worth the candle, I daresay, but... Have you the strength for it?' 'Bear in mind that those writers whom we call immortals, or simply good, and whom we find so intoxicating, have in common one extremely important distinguishing feature: they are going somewhere, and summon us there also...'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the influence of Chekhov in modern theater worldwide, and especially in America, has been immense, translations into English have tended to be too literary and have not communicated the full emotional power and precise attention to detail of Chekhov's Russian. Milton Ehre began translating Chekhov's plays to provide professional theaters with performance texts that capture the feel and rhythms of spoken, rather than written, language. Chekhov for the Stage is the first publication of his revised versions of The Three Sisters, Uncle Vanya, The Cherry Orchard, and The Sea Gull. Ehre's sensitive renderings of these classics make this volume the translation of choice for performers and directors, teachers, and the general reading public.

Book excerpt: Anton Chekhov's popularity in the west is without parallel for a foreign writer. He has been absorbed into our culture, and accepted as one of our own. His plays lend themselves easily to the stage, calling for actors with intelligence and common sense rather than a dramatic voice or histrionic skills.
