The Moscow Art Theatre (MAT) production of ''The Seagull'' in 1898, directed by Constantin Stanislavski and Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko, was a crucial milestone for the fledgling theatre company that has been described as "one of the greatest events in the history of Russian theatre and one of the greatest new developments in the history of world drama."〔Rudnitsky (1981, 8) and Benedetti (1999, 85).〕 It was the first production in Moscow of Anton Chekhov's ''The Seagull'', though the play had been performed with only moderate success in St. Petersburg two years earlier. Nemirovich, who was a friend of Chekhov's, overcame the writer's refusal to allow the play to appear in Moscow after its earlier lacklustre reception and convinced Stanislavski to direct the play for their innovative and newly founded Moscow Art Theatre (MAT).〔Benedetti (1999, 73) and (1989, 25).〕 The production opened on . The MAT's success was due to the fidelity of its delicate representation of everyday life, its intimate, ensemble playing, and the resonance of its mood of despondent uncertainty with the psychological disposition of the Russian intelligentsia of the time.〔Braun (1981, 64).〕 To commemorate this historic production, which gave the MAT its sense of identity, the company to this day bears the seagull as its emblem.〔Braun (1981, 62, 64).〕 ==Cast== * Irina Nikolayevna Arkadina: Olga Knipper * Konstantin Gavrilovich Treplyov: Vsevolod Meyerhold * Masha: Maria Lilina * Boris Alexeyevich Trigorin: Constantin Stanislavski 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Moscow Art Theatre production of The Seagull」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
