Learn moreIn this famous one act comedy, the sorrowful and lonely widow Mrs. Popov meets the aggressive and angry Smirnov, who shows up at her house to demand money owed by her late husband. Despite this unlikely beginning, the two manage somehow to fall in love.
Written in 1888, The Bear is one of Anton Chekhov's greatest works. The play is alternately titled The Boor.
Anton Chekhov (1860-1904), the grandson of a former serf and son of a grocer, was born in Taganrog, a port in Southern Russia. His childhood was overshadowed by his frightening father, but he was close to his mother. While he was at university, his father was defrauded and went bankrupt, leaving the family in dire financial straits; Chekhov supported them almost single-handedly by selling stories and sketches to magazines. Although a doctor by profession, he soon became famous for his brilliant stories and plays, and is today recognized as one of the greatest short story writers of all time.
