About the Author:

Anton Chekhov (1860-19040 is one of the world's greatest playwrights. His four masterpieces, The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard, are rarely absent from the stage. Indeed, this will be the second high-profile production of Three Sisters in London this year... Nicholas Wright's Vincent in Brixton won rave reviews at the National and in the West End last year and opens in New York in April. Earlier work includes the West End hit, Cressida, with Michael Gambon, Mrs Klein at the National Theatre and in the West End, and adaptations of John Gabriel Borkman (with Paul Scofield and Vanessa Redgrave), Naked with Juliette Binoche and Lulu with Anna Friel. All are published by NHB.
