Synopsis

The "Collected Plays of Anton Chekhov (Unabridged)" encapsulates the masterful trajectory of Chekhov's contributions to the theatre, featuring seminal works like "The Seagull" and "The Cherry Orchard." This collection traverses the intricacies of human emotion and social dynamics, employing a realist literary style that deftly blends humor, tragedy, and philosophical introspection. Chekhov's innovative use of subtext and character-driven narratives reveals the complexities of the human condition, reflecting life'Äôs ambiguity during the cultural shifts of 19th-century Russia, thereby establishing his enduring legacy in both Russian and world literature. Anton Chekhov, a trained physician turned playwright, possessed an acute understanding of human psychology, which informed his writing. His experiences in a Russia steeped in social change greatly influenced his portrayal of society'Äôs struggles, as seen in his exploration of the disintegration of the aristocracy. Chekhov's background in the medical field also provided him with unique insights into the human experience, imbuing his characters with authenticity and depth. This collection is an indispensable read for anyone interested in drama and the evolution of modern theatre. Readers will find in Chekhov'Äôs plays a profound reflection of their own lives, as he poignantly addresses themes of love, ambition, and loss. The delineation of characters in poignant yet relatable situations makes this anthology a must-read for scholars and casual readers alike.

    M is a writer. M is a mother. M is a woman.
    The triumph of M's hit play is hijacked by motherhood. She is burnt out, angry, lonely, craving intimacy but disengaged, and terrified of the future.
    She wants to tell her story, her way. But everyone keeps giving her their opinions on who she is, who she ought to be, and how she's fucking everything up.
    Fiercely funny and brutally honest, Jane Upton's play (the) Woman shatters the glossy veneer of motherhood, exposing its raw, messy truth and what happens when a woman dares to question the definition of (her)self. It was shortlisted for the Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting, and first performed by New Perspectives on tour of the UK in 2025.

    'You'll remember how much of living is really just forgetting.'
    The family home is more than a building. It's a destination of pilgrimage, an inherited investment, a repository of memory or magic. But, for brother and sister Stephen and Billie, home is all they've got. Mucking along in their decaying farmhouse, they're doing just fine.
    That is, until the arrival of an ex-clergyman uncle with an unscrupulous plan, a sister-in-law seeking a miracle, and a prodigal brother hell-bent on trouble…
    An entrancing tale of fate, family and unseen forces in 1980s Ireland, Conor McPherson's play The Brightening Air was the winner of the Edgerton Foundation New Play Award. It was first performed at The Old Vic, London, in 2025, directed by the playwright.
