Чайка — знаменитая комедия Антона Павловича Чехова (1860–1904), великого русского писателя. В основе сюжета пьесы — чувства Константина Треплева и Нины Заречной и их сложный жизненный выбор: известность, слава или настоящая любовь. Одной из особенностей произведения является то, что в ней отсутствуют обязательные для жанра драматургии элементы: динамичный сюжет и зрелищные события. Почитатели творчества А. П. Чехова получат огромное удовольствие от прочтения этого произведения. Чехов Антон Павлович — автор знаменитых рассказов, повести "Палата № 6", пьес "Вишневый сад" и Чайка.

Donc, dans la compagnie Yumimoto, j'étais aux ordres de tout le monde."
