Look at these and tell me we were not robbed of David Tennant doing Chekov

A neat thing I've recently learned is that one relatively popular song in my country, Nina by the singer Tomáš Klus, is actually from a quartet of songs inspired by the play The Seagull by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. During his studies Klus himself would often star in the play and said it has been a major influence on his career.

In the play there is a two year gap between Act III and Act IV, and these four songs are about what the singer imagines the four main characters - Trigorin, Nina, Arkadina and Treplev - have been going through during this two year gap.

A kind of fanfiction in song, if you will.

Lyrics translated to English exist for Trigorin, Nina and Treplev, unfortunately I couldn't find a translation for Arkadina.

A question to any of my friends who like theatre — regardless of if they have ever been in a play at all — what are ten characters you would want to play? This is not about acting ability or traditional suitability for the role. Just characters whose lines you would love to deliver.

For me: Hamlet, Mark Antony (in Julius Caesar, not Antony and Cleopatra), Rosalind (As You Like It), either Benedick or Beatrice (Much Ado About Nothing), Guildenstern (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead), Treplev (The Seagull), the Narrator in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Orpheus (Hadestown), Scripps in The History Boys, and the Stage Manager in The Habit of Art.

God I wish I could do presentations instead of all of my essays, they're soooo much easier.... I could Talk abt treplev's role in the seagull as both figure of hope and ruin

[ale10ander]

the seagull is about a guy getting emotionally and romantically cucked by the same dude.

His mom is like "hey let's go hang out with your uncle, it'll be great" and our boy Treplyov is like "I don't really want to, but I guess?" and mom is like "oh btw i'm bringing my new boooooyyyyfriiiend"

So Treplev comes around and is like "hey i'm a writer, can i put on a play for everyone?"

I shuold mention at this point 2 things: 1. mom's new boyfriend is a famous writer. 2. There's also a pretty young actress (Nina) hanging out Uncle Pyotr's estate.

So Treplev is like I'ma impress Nina with my play. he puts it on.. And basically everyone laughs at him and is like "Bro what the hell is this?" Treplev: It's ART, you wouldn't understand!

Mom's boyfriend is like "hey you want me to tell you how writing ACTUALLY works?" And treplev is like seriously get lost. Then he decides to woo Nina the only way he knows how: by killing a bird and giving it to her as a gift. You see, Treplev learned romance from a cat.

Anyway Nina is REPULSED by this gift so she goes away and talks to the famous writer. He gives this baller line:

Idea for a short story: A young girl, like you, has lived on the shore of a lake her entire life. She loves the lake, the way a seagull does, and she's happy and free like a seagull. But a man happens along, sees her, and destroys her because he has nothing better to do.

Nina, naturally falls in love with him. So now this writer is banging both Treplov's mom AND the girl he wants.

Then there's another THREE WHOLE ACTS of everything falling apart in exactly the way you'd expect

Il y a quelque chose chez Tchekhov qui est magnifique, et que mon cher professeur de français a très bien qualifié. Il le décrit comme un « désespéré à l’énergie prodigieuse », et c’est ce qu’il est. Quand on y pense, il y a des thèmes qui reviennent toujours dans ses pièces : l’amour et la persévérance du travail, et le sentiment de ne jamais voir cet accomplissement, mais qu’y participer amène le bonheur. Chez lui, le travail c’est l’objet de réussite d’un bonheur qu’on ne verra jamais, mais qui sera profitable au monde. Jamais ses personnages ne seront heureux au moment où ils sont écrits, car ils ne sortiront jamais de leur désespoir. Mais leurs états d’âme et leurs luttes acharnées permettront à la beauté du monde. Dans quasiment toutes ses pièces, il dit « dans deux cents ou trois cents ans », « dans mille ans » / « la vie sera incroyablement belle ». Les malheurs que les personnages vivent les empêchent de voir à quel point le monde est beau, et seul l’avenir trop lointain portera la marque de leur misère transfigurée.

Il y a aussi les amours qui échouent, et pourtant la beauté de ces échecs les transfigurent et les subliment. Beaucoup de critiques et de théoriciens disent par exemple que Verchinine est « pitoyable », mais ce mot est mal choisi. Il inspire la pitié et il est à plaindre, mais pas dans son sens péjoratif. Dans cette même veine, alors Vania et Trigorine le sont aussi. Les hommes jeunes ou dans la fleur de l’��ge sont toujours idéalistes, encore si l’on peut dire, mais les vieillards sont nostalgiques du passé et réalistes. Les femmes, elles, désemparées et désillusionnées et j’ai envie de dire, Nina est l’exception parce que malgré sa vie, elle continue à garder sa force et sa foi dans le théâtre.

Avec @kaantt on disait justement que les personnages de Tchekhov étaient profondément humains. Ils le sont car ils échouent constamment, ils répètent leurs erreurs et vivent dans des illusions de vie meilleure malgré leur malheur. Treplev pense qu’il est bon auteur, Elena pense être une bonne épouse et mère, Verchinine pense qu’il peut se laisser aller dans son amour pour Macha parce qu’elle seule lui apporte une véritable compréhension de son être, Lioubov s’enferme dans son déni de la vente de la cerisaie… et lorsqu’ils prennent la parole dans les monologues, à partir du moment où ils la prennent, leur parole est vouée à l’échec car elle est formulée. Ils ne s’écoutent pas eux-mêmes, et les autres non plus. La prise de parole annule la pensée elle-même. C’est une mise à nu, un dévoilement pudique mais qui ne s’adresse qu’au spectateur.

hi, snail! I hope you're well. I just finished reading chekhov's 4 major plays and I can absolutely see the watsonian reason why cwilbur named his crossbow after the literary device named after the man - like 3/4 of the characters in those plays are depressed. in particular I think he'd kin (/j) treplev from the seagull

HELLOOOOOOOO!!! LMAO he's a sad little guy. I think it's also because of the literary device. if you have a gun in your story, it has to be fired at some point. cwilbur is dramatic like that. I hope you have the BEST DAY!!!!

I saw this on Joe's tag and i wanna share a story 🗣️

That was the most weird thing happened to me in this fandom. Apparently Pinterest thinks this is Joseph and the side account of bestofjq posted that first photo and said hey guys fyi this is not Joseph and i was SHOCKED because he's an actor from my country and WHAT'S HE DOING ON THE JOSEPH TWITTER 😂

I was a fan of him and we even met after one of his plays. And another weird coincidence: He was playing Treplev from Checkov's The Seagull, like Joe did in LAMDA. Turns out we have our own Joe Quinn here akjskdj

IT'S AMAZING THO HAHAHAHAHAH

[fightclubgayporn]

not to have a personality disorder but treplev is a little bit real for all of that

[benvoolioo]

had quite a bad meltdown today in front of my mother and somehow in the middle of it i thought wow this is such konstantin treplev behaviour right now anyway i think that is indicative of something extremely silly with my brain

[bloody-finley]
