The Proposal
Published in volume Chekhov: Shorts
Ivan Vasilievich Lomov wants to propose to his neighbour's daughter, Natalya Stepanovna. The only trouble is, they're both supremely argumentative...
Written in 1888 and premiered the following year, The Proposal is subtitled 'A farce in one act', and is a brilliantly funny example of what Chekhov called his 'vaudevilles'.
This translation by Chekhov expert Stephen Mulrine is published in the collection Chekhov: Shorts.
