 Anton Chekhov
His evenings he liked best to spend in the kitchen of the master's house among the work people and peasants who gathered there, taking part in their games, and setting them all laughing by his witty and telling observations.
When Chekhov was about fourteen, his father moved the family to Moscow, leaving Anton in Taganrog, and now, relieved of work in the shop, his progress at school became remarkable.
At seventeen he wrote a long tragedy, which was afterward destroyed, and he already showed flashes of the wit that was soon to blaze into genius.

 May 10, 2002: Film Freak Central's Coverage of The Starz Independent Filmcenter Project - FESTIVALS
Written at the end of his life in 1904, "The Cherry Orchard" is the last of Anton Chekov's great masterpieces, so ethereal it verges on the surreal and so circular it approaches the ineffable and the serene.
With the absence of an appreciation for Chekov's economy and sly appreciation of farce, one is left with a stultifying disaster.
The only moment that rings with poetry is a closing champagne toast, recalling that the imbibing of champagne in the German medical tradition (the tradition in which Chekov received treatment and last rites for his tuberculosis) is the pronouncement of hopelessness.

When news of the Paramount casting sheet for Trek XI leaked out over the weekend, many speculated the fact Chekov wasn't on the sheet also meant he wouldn't be in the film.
Chekov was only added to the Original Series in the show's second season, and with the new film likely being set before that period, it was thought Chekov wouldn't make the cut.
It now seems Chekov was in fact left off the sheet because the role had already been filled.

 Theatre, 1956, February, 18 (The Nation, February 18, 1956)
The article presents the author Harold Clurman's views on Anton Chekov's qualities as a dramatist.
Chekov triumphs because the gentleness and goodness of his soul, the wit of his understanding, the acuteness of his observation are so balanced, so loving, so unemphatically honest, probing, discreet, economical and impeccably true in taste and tone that every moment of his plays is transformed into the most penetrating poetry.
These serve to make for an apparently effortless perfection of dramatic craftsmanship beside which the slick technique of most other playwrights strikes one as the work of vulgar hacks.
