The Bear - by Anton Chekhov, translated by Bernard Lawrence
- The Bear tells of a wealthy heiress, recently widowed, who receives an unwelcome visit from a landowner to whom her late husband was in debt. Their social pleasantries quickly descend into a fierce quarrel. The play is full of amusing situations, rapid-fire insults and quick-witted banter culminating in a surprising
resolution to their dilemma.
