About the Story
A crude and rude landowner, Smirnov, visits a grieving widow, Yelena, to collect on a debt her departed husband owed him. He needs the money today as he has to pay tomorrow. Her estate manager is not there and she cannot pay until the man comes back the day after tomorrow. The boor decides he will camp out in her salon till she forks over the money. The play develops to the point that the boor challenges the widow to a duel with totally unexpected consequences. 1f, 2m, interior set
Publishing Info
The Boor (or The Bear) – a Comedy in One Act by Anton Tchekoff (Chekhov), translated by Hilmar Baukhage. From Samuel French of London, perhaps from 1920. This paperback script measures about 7-1/4″ x 5″ and has 20 numbered pages in stapled binding.
Condition
See photo above. This has water stain from top left and some staining that might have come from mildew (no active spores found). This currently has musty basement smell and short splits and top and bottom of cover spine fold. I found a few ink marks on one page, but no names or other writing. From clean, smoke-free theatrical home.
Shipping
Generally sent the same day payment arrives. Unless you request otherwise, I will wrap the script in plastic wrap to help protect it from the elements, tightly sandwich it between pieces of cardboard, then wrap in brown paper to send via Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation tracking. See the shipping page for the cost to send a one-pound Media Mail package. Insurance is an additional cost as described. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
