Now, for the first time, both are available and published here in a single volume in translations by the renowned playwright Richard Nelson and Richard Peavar and Larissa Volokhonsky, the foremost contemporary translators of classic Russian literature. Shedding new light on this most revered play, the translators reconstructed the script Chekhov first submitted and all of the changes he made prior to rehearsal. The result is a major event in the publishing of Chekhov's canon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard Nelson\u003c\/b\u003e's many plays include \u003ci\u003eRodney's Wife\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGoodnight Children Everywhere\u003c\/i\u003e, Drama Desk-nominated \u003ci\u003eFranny's Way\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSome Americans Abroad\u003c\/i\u003e, Tony Award-nominated \u003ci\u003eTwo Shakespearean Actors\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eJames Joyce's The Dead\u003c\/i\u003e (with Shaun Davey), for which he won a Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical, and the critically acclaimed, searing play cycle, \u003ci\u003eThe Apple Family Plays\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard Pevear\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eLarissa Volokhonsky\u003c\/b\u003e have produced acclaimed translations of Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Nikolai Gogol, Anton Chekhov, and Mikhail Bulgakov.
