The Seagull by Anton ChekhovRead about the other entries on the list.
The guests at Sorin's country estate gather to watch an experimental new play by his nephew, Konstantin. The young playwright's neighbour Nina stars in this symbolist hokum and takes the stage to perform a long and rambling monologue about the nature of a universal soul. After several interruptions from Arkadina, his actress mother, he abandons the play in a huff.
--Marshal Zeringue
