Turgenev (1818-1883) tends to be seen in Chekhovs shadow, yet his plays pre-date Chekhovs work by nearly half a century. A Month in the Country is Turgenevs acknowledged masterpiece. Includes the plays; A Month in the Country, Stony Broke, One of the Family, The Bachelor, Lunch at His Excellency's and A Provincial Lady.
Stephen Mulrine has written extensively for television and radio as a dramatist. He began translating Russian drama in the late 1980s, ranging from Gogol and Chekhov, to the contemporary plays of Gelman and Petrushevskaya. His adaptation of Yerofeev's cult novel Moscow Stations, staged in Edinburgh, London and New York, and a volume of plays by Ostrovsky are also published by Oberon Books.
