About this ebook
Chekhov's late masterpiece examines human behaviour in all of its beautiful, terrible, laughable contradiction. Following his reimagining of Oresteia (Almeida / West End), Almeida Associate Director Robert Icke directs a new production of Chekhov's greatest play.
Things your life could be:
(1) a farce.
(2) a tragedy.
(3) pointless.
(4) all of the above.
Things you could do about it:
(1) keep living.
(2) stop living.
(3) stop someone else living.
(4) nothing.
Even so, what has your life been worth?
