The Notebook of Trigorin
Work:: The Notebook of Trigorin (S0796518339)
At the heart of Chekhov's The Seagull are the timeless dramatic triangles of love, hate and jealousy - of son, mother and lover. Williams takes this great play of human emotion, of the impossibility of people ever understanding each other, and makes it truly accessible for a modern audience. Buried conflicts are brought to the surface in a vigorous theatrical story, injected with visual magic and deliberate comedy. Here Trigorin's story comes to the fore: and in Mme Arkadina we have a classic Williams' damaged older woman - below the comedy we feel her desperation as she must finally face her part in her son's tragedy. Anton Chekhov changed the face of European theatre. Half a century later, Tennessee Williams did the same for theatre in America. This combination of two such immense talents is unmissable.
