You're on a night out, but not at the theatre. Where are you?
Finally, which of these quotes is your favourite?
You should see The Seagull
You should see The Seagull
'I had an idea. An idea for a short story. A young girl lives on the shore of a lake since childhood. A girl like you. She loves the lake, like a seagull. And she’s free, like a seagull. But a man happens to come along, catches sight of her, and for no other reason but that he can, he destroys her. Just like this seagull.'
Just like many of The Seagull's characters, you like your drama classic. It doesn't come much more classic than The Seagull itself, in which Chekhov laid the foundations for 20th century theatre.
An interest in seabirds is a small bonus.

'Do you know what it feels like? To watch yourself wither? To know you have gone on living too long?'
You're a theatrical sadist who wants to see characters suffer. Sorry, we mean you can sympathise with the tortured souls that inhabit Chekhov's stage. Either way, Ivanov is the play for you.

'You think you could honourably live with such a thing? With such deceit?'
'Quite easily!'
You like to laugh. Fantastic. You know who else likes to laugh? The audience of Platonov, which is definitely the Chekhov for you.

You should see a three-play day

You like Chekhov. You really, really, really like Chekhov. You may even have seen all three of the plays before, but that isn't going to stop you from seeing them again.
For a Chekhov-icionado (real word) like you, there's only one thing for it: all three plays, one after another, on the same day.
