''Frayn''s translation, which strikes me as splendidly lucid and alive . . . will be acted again and again'' New Statesman

In Chekhov''s tragi-comedy - perhaps his most popular play - the Gayev family is torn by powerful forces deeply rooted in history and the society in which they live.

Originally published to coincide with Peter Hall''s National Theatre production in 1978, this edition features the revised translation staged by Sam Mendes at the Aldwych Theatre, London, in 1989, starring Judi Dench and Ronald Pickup.
