Ăber dieses Buch
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?

THREE
Some time later. A room in the house. 12:45.
JOHN and SONYA. ELENA walks around, thinking.
JOHN | His eminence the Professor has deigned to express his sincere desire that we are all assembled in this particular room at precisely one oâ clock. Which is in fifteen minutes. He will speak and the world will listen. |
ELENA | Business, probably. |
JOHN | He doesnât have any business outside writing, whining, being jealous â thatâs it. |
SONYA | Uncle |
JOHN | All right, [Iâm] sorry â (About ELENA.) â hobbies include walking around being bored, and being bored. Charming. Sheâs charming. |
ELENA | Iâm bored with the sound of your voice. It never stops. |
Itâs killing me, the boredom. I donât know what to do. | |
SONYA | There are plenty of things to do. |
ELENA | Such as? |
SONYA | Work. Itâs a farm. The crops. The animals. The fields. Teaching. Making people better. Isnât that enough? Before you and Daddy were here, Uncle Johnny and I used to sell the produce at the market ourselves. |
ELENA | Yeah, I donât know how to do that. It wouldnât be interesting, anyway. Sounds like something from a fairy story. Teaching the poor. Healing the sick. Anyway, you canât just wake up one day and start teaching. |
SONYA | You can â I donât understand how you arenât doing it already! Just try it and with a bit of time, youâll get used to it. Donât be bored. Itâs contagious. |
ELENA | Contagious? |
SONYA | Look: Uncle Johnny does nothing. Well, he follows you round like a shadow, and Iâve left my work and Iâm standing here talking to you. Doing nothing â and thereâs so much to do! Doctor Michael used to visit us once a month, it was hard to get him to come at all, and now he comes here every day and heâs abandoned medicine and forests and everything. Youâre a witch. |
JOHN | (To ELENA.) Whatâs wrong with you, anyway? Come on, think about it â youâre a mermaid, with mermaidâs blood rushing through your veins â let yourself go for once in your life, fall headfirst in love, dive deep down into the water and leave the Professor and the rest of us standing on the shore â |
ELENA | Leave me alone â itâs just cruel |
ELENA tries to leave, JOHN prevents it.
JOHN | Iâm sorry, Iâm sorry, come on, I didnât mean [to upset you] â forgive me |
JOHN kisses her hand.
Peace perfect peace? | |
ELENA | Itâs getting close to the limit, John. It really is. |
JOHN | As an olive branch, to engender harmony, Iâll bring you an armful of roses â picked them this morning â autumn roses, beautiful, mournful roses â |
JOHN goes.
SONYA | Autumn roses, beautiful, mournful roses â |
, | |
ELENA | Thatâs September already. And being here in winter, God, itâll be [horrible] â |
, | |
Wher... |
