Seagull is Chekhov's first truly innovative play,which sets forth the principles of new dramatic poetry.Comparing the failure of the play's premiere at the Alexandrinsky Theatre in St.Petersburg in 1896 with its success in the Moscow Art Theatre's premiere in 1898,it can be concluded that the play failed at its premiere due to various reasons,primarily because Chekhov's new type of drama could not come to artistic life under the rigid theatrical conventions of the time.The success of Seagull in the Moscow Art Theatre was due to the creative stage and performance methods employed by the directors,which opened a new chapter in the history of world theatre and heralded the arrival of two eras-the era of Chekhov's drama and the era of Stanislavski's system.
