Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
21) The Kiss
An awkward young soldier is kissed in error by a young woman at a house party, and his whole outlook on life changes.
First performed at the Moscow Art Theatre in 1901, The Three Sisters probes the lives and dreams of Olga, Masha, and Irina, former Muscovites now living in a provincial town from which they long to escape.

The Steppe, subtitled The Story of a Journey, is a novella by Russian writer Anton Chekhov.

Their estate is hopelessly in debt: urged to cut down their beautiful cherry orchard and sell the land for holiday cottages, they struggle to act decisively.
