THE SEAGULL

(Adapted from Chekhov)(Respect, man)

CHARACTERS IN THE PLAY

Between the Third and the Fourth Acts there is an interval of two years

ACT ONE

A wide avenue leads towards a lake in the background

The sun has just gone down

Behind the curtain


MEDVIEDENKO

Why do you always wear black?

I can't understand it

My life is

Twenty-three roubles

MASHA

It isn't money that matters

Even a pauper can be happy

It works out like this:

They'll be starting the show soon

Souls merged to a work of art

It's quite understandable

Have some snuff

[Pause]

You're always philosophizing

SORIN

[leaning on a walking stick]

Brain sticking to my skull

Feel like running away again

[Laughs]

I'm retired now

TREPLIOV

There's a theatre for you!

Unimpeded view

The moon

Secret drinker

Why is my sister so

It makes her angry

Success

Gifted and intelligent

Patience of an angel

The Fumes of Life

Intoxicating

All to blame

Three

Thirteen

Your mother adores you

[Laughing]

Why should she

I have no use for the theatre

Serving humanity

The theatre of today is in a rut,and full of prejudices and conventions

A room with three walls

High priests of a sacred art

Eat, drink, make love

Easy to understand and suitable for use in the home
