Ivanov
Translated by Paul Schmidt. Author(s):
Anton Chekhov
Ivanov, a landowner who farms a large estate, is in debt, and his wife, whom he no longer loves, is dying of tuberculosis. He owes money everywhere and has reached the point of despair. The love of Sasha, a young girl in the neighborhood, seems to offer him a way out, but the neighbors accuse him of merely trying to obtain the girl’s money. He is torn by feelings of guilt when his wife dies, but is determined to marry Sasha. During the period of their engagement even this relationship sours on him, and on the morning of his wedding day, he can no longer live a lie and he shoots himself. A series of brilliant character parts enliven this semi-tragic play with moments of great humor.
