Description

Comprising four one-act comic vaudevilles and four short stories adapted for the stage by Michael Frayn, The Sneeze introduces readers to a less familiar selection of work by one of the greatest precursors of modern drama. First published in 1989, this reissue includes: The Sneeze, The Alien Corn, The Bear, The Evils of Tobacco, The Inspector-General, Swan Song, The Prospect, and Plots.

Michael Frayn’s translations of Chekov’s work marry the expertise of the translator with the innate understanding of a master dramatist and are widely regarded as the truest, most authentic renderings of Chekov’s work.
