Irene loves Boris. Boris loves Nina. Stan loves Nina too but hates Irene and Boris. Martha loves Stan but married Simon. Peter loves booze and fags. Let battle commence.

Anton Chekhov's theatre play was written in 1895, and is regarded as one of his four major works for the stage, despite a famously disastrous first production in St Petersburg. Two years later it was revived by the groundbreaking Moscow Art Theatre, where it was greeted with unanimous acclaim.
