This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Williams, known for The Glass Menagerie and A Streetcar Named Desire.

According to CSC, Williams admired Chekhov's work and was enamored in particular with The Seagull. "Under Williams' pen Chekhov’s basic story remains the same, however, his characters are redefined in vivid colors, their actions rerouted from offstage conflict to onstage events and the character of Trigorin is brought more into focus making his notebook the play's central symbol," according to CSC. "The result is the lyrical fusion of two great playwrights a century apart — a play reminiscent of Anton Chekhov but undeniably Tennessee Williams."

CSC is currently presenting Chekhov's Three Sisters.
